Little girl looking 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.

Common Good Requires Legal Protection of the Unborn

Image of Do Catholics preserve the common good by declaring themselves pro-choice, but personally opposed to abortion?
