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 >

Honorius III Born Cencio Savelli, Honorius III held many church offices and was a tutor to Frederick II before his election to the papacy in 1216. He hoped to preach a crusade that would retake Jerusalem, and he continued the crusade against the Albigenses. He preached a crusade against the Moors in 1218. Honorius blessed the Dominicans, the Franciscans, and the Carmelites; he also encouraged lay tertiaries in these orders. He is the author of Compilata quinta, the first official book of canon law, and wrote biographies of popes Celestine III and Gregory VII. Honorius died in 1227.
