    Is Facebook Censoring Catholic Non-Profits?

    You may have heard that Facebook stopped allowing ads to target groups based on religious interests. In practical terms, Catholic apostolates could previously tell Facebook to show their ads to anyone who liked topics such as Our Lady, the Rosary, the Divine Liturgy, and the Pope.
