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.

Image of Boniface VI

Boniface VI Boniface VI, son of Bishop Adrian, was elected to the Roman see in 896. His election was supported by Lambert, Duke of Spoleto, and opposed by Arnulf, King of the Franks. The Roman people also supported Boniface, who died 15 days after his election. He was buried in the portico of the popes. In 898, John IX convened a council that invalidated Boniface's election on the grounds that Boniface had been defrocked when he was a subdeacon and defrocked again when he was a priest. He had not, at the time of his election, been reconciled to the church and reinstated as a priest. His body remained in its burial place.
