We have one question for you.
Has Catholic Online given you $5 worth of value this year? Maybe you came here for a prayer. Maybe you read today's Mass readings. Maybe you researched a saint. Maybe you needed an answer about the Catholic Faith. Maybe your child used Catholic Online School. If the answer is no, you don't owe us anything. Keep using Catholic Online. But if the answer is yes, we're asking you to give $5 today.
Catholic Online School has served 2.2 million student enrollments in 193 countries, and we continue working to make Catholic education available regardless of a family's financial circumstances. We don't need every reader to give. We need the readers who recognize the value of what they've received to stand behind it. Is Catholic Online worth $5 to you?
GIVE TODAY >>President Makes Surprise Visit to Iraq
FREE Catholic Classes
Given security concerns, the visits of the President are often clouded in secrecy.
Highlights
BAGHDAD (Catholic Online) - Upon concluding his European visit in Turkey, President Obama made an unannounced, "secret" visit to Iraq Tuesday.
This unannounced visit is similar to such visits taken by his predecessor in office.
Given security concerns, the visits of the President are often clouded in secrecy.
At the final stop in Turkey, the President addressed a group of Muslim students in Istanbul addressing his concerns over the proper removal of troops from Iraq in a manner which would not lead to a "collapse into violence."
During the Presidential Campaign, then candidate Obama was presented as having opposed the initial incursion into Iraq.
However, since assuming office, his approach to the process of ending American involvement has not actually differed from the strategy set forth by his former rival on the campaign trail, Senator John McCain.
This is the President's third trip to Iraq but only his first since assuming office.
