We ask you, urgently: don't scroll past this

Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

The Transfiguration of Jesus Christ: What Does it Mean For Us Right Now? Watch

Image of The Transfiguration of the Lord Jesus Christ: On that Mountain, Jesus revealed before mortal eyes the Transcendent Truth of who He is - and who Peter, James and John - and each one of us - will become in Him.

They Took Offense At Him: Courageous Christians Needed. Are We Willing to Lose Human Respect? Watch

Image of John would not back down concerning the truth about marriage. He faced a ruler who became outraged over that fact and turned the wrath of his worldly power against him.

Treasures Old and New: Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Bishop and Doctor of the Church Watch

Image of Today, we commemorate one of the treasures of the Church, a Bishop and Doctor of the Church, a master of Moral Theology. He lived a long life, dying at the ripe old age of 91. He lived during a time of real decline in the Church, and, as a result, the culture of Europe also declined. He died in the year 1787, near Naples, surrounded by sons in the faith. They were drawn to live radically for Jesus through his holy witness of life, his profound preaching, and his inspired writings on the Christian life. This treasure was St. Alphonsus Liguori, the founder of the Redemptorist community. He is particularly known for his deep love for Mary, the Mother of the Lord.

This image of God pitching his tent and filling it with his glory has been richly reflected upon in the Christian Tradition. It ... continue reading

The disciplines they promote can help us to grow in holiness of life, no matter what our state in life, and equip us for service in the Army of the King, Jesus Christ.

Ignatius began to reflect at length about the Saints, their lives, their faith and their heroic virtue. He discovered that as he did that, ... continue reading

Growing Together with Christ, the Fruitful Fallen Grain of Wheat

Image of Next, alongside the seeds, there are also weeds. These are those under the sway of the evil one, who live by principles opposed or antithetical to the Gospel, whose evil scandalously causes others to imitate it. Some of these weeds may even be in the Church, since seeds and weeds grow up side by side.

Throughout the globe, Jesus sows good seed, which he defines as children of the kingdom, the true sons and daughters of his Father. Each of ... continue reading
