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.

Archbishop of Salzburg, Austria, and a supporter of the pope during the "Investiture Controversy." Born to a noble family of Nuremberg, Germany, he was ordained and became a Benedictine in 1125 at Pruffening, Germany. As abbot of Biburg near Regensburg, he renewed the community. He became archbishop of Salzburg in 1146. When Pope Alexander III was faced with the "Investiture Controversy," led by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and antipope Victor IV, Eberhard mediated the situation. He died while returning from one peacemaking mission.
