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. 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. Help Now >

Religious Liberty = Homophobia?

Image of So this is what we’ve come to in America: religious objections to homosexuality, rooted in the Bible, natural law and the teachings of most religions, is nothing more than a pernicious phobia.

Radical gays, and their straight allies, have gotten so bold that they are prepared to assault First Amendment religious-liberty rights. ... continue reading

Guest Opinion: Catholic Left has Lost its Moorings

Image of It is one thing for the ACLU to work against us. We expect that. It is something else altogether when those who purport to be on our side do.But we remain emboldened. All across the nation bishops are stepping up to the plate in greater numbers than we have seen in years. So keep the faith! This isn’t over by a long shot.

Catholics in Alliance, Catholics United and Catholic Democrats are all pro-abortion. If you ask their spokesmen, they will deny it. NEW ... continue reading

Bishop Finn: Obama's Words Bring Abortion Dialogue to 'Screeching Halt'

Image of Bishop Finn: The President shut the door on dialogue by saying that there was not going to be any change in his position on abortion and he understood that there was not going to be any change in the Church's position on abortion.

The President got up and said that the differences that we have on abortion... were 'irreconcilable'. KANSAS CITY (LifeSiteNews.com) - ... continue reading

A Brief Primer on Stem Cell Research

Image of Since the beginning of the 21st Century, the positive results from research using adult stem cells has increased at an astonishing rate, whereas embryonic stem cell research, mired in technical problems, has failed miserably to live up to the promises of its proponents. The use of embryonic stem cells is condemned by the Church because it always requires that the life of an embryo be taken to produce the cells. As a culture, we would create children to be killed for research in the “hope” (does that term sound familiar?) of discovering something that could be useful clinically.

The Church welcomes adult stem cell research, because it requires no killing of anyone or anything. This research has already produced ... continue reading

Guest Commentary: Judgment and Discernment

Image of The real message is not that we are not supposed to judge, but rather that we are supposed to judge ourselves first, clean our own houses, and then help our brothers and sisters to clean theirs.

Judgment, however, can and should be separated from being judgmental. RICHMOND, Va. (Catholic Online) - A few months ago, after a Lenten ... continue reading

An Eyewitness Account from Notre Dame Protest

Image of Outside the gates of the university. There were nearly 1200 protesters. Not the 350 the press reported. There were marked police cars every 1/4 mile. The police tailed one of the pro-life trucks plastered with aborted baby pictures wherever it went. It couldn't make a move without a police car. Pro Obama people were there taunting white protesters telling a woman she was a b**** and were f**** racist pigs if they didn't like Obama. I am certain if Obama knew this he too would have been sad.

I'll be absolutely frank, it was clear this was a satanic war. SOUTH BEND (Catholic Online) - Father Corapi spoke to a St. Pius group ... continue reading

Archbishop Chaput: 'Notre Dame, the Issues that Remain'

Image of Notre Dame’s leadership has done a real disservice to the Church, and now seeks to ride out the criticism by treating it as an expression of fringe anger. But the damage remains, and Notre Dame’s critics are right. The most vital thing faithful Catholics can do now is to insist – by their words, actions and financial support – that institutions claiming to be “Catholic” actually live the faith with courage and consistency. If that happens, Notre Dame’s failure may yet do some unintended good.

There was no excuse – none, except intellectual vanity – for the university to persist in its course. DENVER (Catholic Online) - ... continue reading
