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.
Migrant released on $500 bail in child rape case is arrested by ICE agents

Being allowed to fly in and being flown in are different things. That statement is misleading.
As noted in the post you were replying to, the defendant (Alvarez) was released after a hearing because the evidence against him was so weak."U.S. Customs and Border Protection admitted Alvarez into the United States lawfully June 26, 2023, in New York, New York. However, Alvarez violated the terms of his lawful admittance.
The Rockland Police Department arrested Alvarez on March 14. Later that day, the Hingham District Court in Hingham arraigned Alvarez for aggravated rape of a child, 10 years age difference. Later that day, ERO Boston lodged an immigration detainer against Alvarez with the Plymouth County Sheriff’s Office.
On June 27, however, Plymouth County Superior Court of Brockton refused to honor ERO Boston’s immigration detainer and released Alvarez from custody on a $500 bond."

Are Catholics really fleeing to the fields to escape modernity’s mess?

If, like me, you spend a little too much time on Catholic Twitter – or should I say X – then you might in the past few weeks have scrolled past various photos with a theme that caused a bit of a double take. Beards, braids, flannel shirts and long floaty skirts was the aesthetic that suddenly seemed to dominate my timeline.
While you may be forgiven for thinking the photos came from some New Age festival, they actually came from a conference in upstate New York – predominantly attended by Catholics.
The third annual Catholic Land Movement conference took place in upstate New York at the end of June, with around 300 people in attendance. The conference featured workshops on beekeeping, livestock care, how to work a well, among other homesteading topics.
The conference really stuck to its Catholic credentials: it convened on the site of the North American Martyrs Shrine in Auriesville, attendees prayed the rosary, and on the final day of the conference many of the boys in attendance served a Traditional Latin Mass celebrated by His Excellency Edward Scharfenberger of the Albany Diocese in New York.
Such a blend of homesteading and Catholicism is not unique to upstate New York; the Midwest-Appalachia region will hold its second Catholic Land Movement conference this September, and those interested in the Catholic Land Movement ethos are spread far and wide.

The fascinating history of the feast of Mary’s assumption
- By Michie

On Aug. 15, Catholics around the world mark the solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, commemorating the end of her earthly life and assumption into heaven.
But while the feast day is a relatively new one, the history of the holiday — and the mystery behind it — has its roots in the earliest centuries of Christian belief.
The Catholic Church teaches that when Mary’s earthly life ended, God assumed her, body and soul, into heaven.
The dogma of the Assumption of Mary — also called the “Dormition of Mary” in the Eastern Churches — has its roots in the early centuries of the Church.
While a site outside of Jerusalem was recognized as the tomb of Mary, the earliest Christians maintained that “no one was there,” theologian and EWTN News Vice President and Editorial Director Matthew Bunson explained.
According to St. John of Damascus, the Roman emperor Marcian requested the body of Mary, mother of God, at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
