  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Don't know what to do....

For a long time now I have felt that I made a mistake in converting to Catholicism three years ago. I didn't belong to any church at the time and considered myself a "christian" but didn't go to church. So, when I was introduced to the Catholic Faith it really hooked me in.

Now, the more and more I see what the church is doing and how I question some major parts of the faith and structure of the church and how it has handle the abuses, I find myself not wanting to be a part of the Church anymore.

The hard part is that my daughter goes to a Catholic school, my wife and her family are Catholic and we know a lot of people at our church and it's a small town. I just worry that it could cause a lot of problems for me personally, as well as my wife and daughter should I leave the Church.

Secondly, I don't really see any local church that seems like a fit right now either.

What to do?:confused:

Joh 4:21 The Messiah saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
