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.

Two brothers who endured persecution because of their resistance to the Iconoclasts of the Byzantine Empire. Both were monks in the monastery of St. Sabbas in Jerusalem at the time when Byzantine officials demanded that the icons be destroyed. When the brothers opposed the action, they were beaten and had their faces cruelly disfigured by having verses carved into them. Theodore died in prison. Theophanes may have survived him long enough to become bishop of Nicaea.
