  • 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.

Hubble captures stunning, clearest image yet of the Egg Nebula

Hubble captures stunning, clearest image yet of the Egg Nebula

Synopsis

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured its clearest image yet of the Egg Nebula, a pre-planetary nebula situated almost 1,000 light-years away in the Cygnus constellation. The nebula’s central star is hidden behind a dense dust cloud, with twin beams of light escaping through polar openings to illuminate concentric arcs of gas and dust. As a rare example of a late-stage Sun-like star nearing the planetary nebula phase, the Egg Nebula offers astronomers a unique opportunity to study stellar evolution, mass ejection, and the processes that seed dust for planet formation across the galaxy.​


The Hubble Space Telescope has captured its sharpest and most comprehended view of the Egg Nebula, offering astronomers a rare opportunity into the late evolutionary phases of its central star.

Named for its oval, egg-like appearance, the central star is concealed behind a vast dust cloud, offering the nebula a yellowish core amid otherwise white surrounding dust. While the James Webb Space Telescope has dominated global attention since its launch, Hubble remains to offer significant observations that deepen scientists’ knowledge of stellar evolution.

Divine Providence - According to Co-Pilot

I was responding in that segment to the truck thread; I do believe that God has not and will not fail me when I'm in need of him. Just because he's "omnipresence" doesn't mean, he can't or won't. Sometimes all we can do is pray it gets better, at the same time we realize this world is a failing project, and that God is in control, yes, but if God solved every problem positively and every time, you may not see that there is a job in need of God's attention. Keep praying. At 41 I think I've seen many of them answered in His timing...

Favorite Super Bowl Commercials?

I'm thinking of ones from this year, but you can post commercials from any Super Bowl.


My favorites from this year:

1. Ben Stiller Instacart. :tearsofjoy: Apparently I didn't see this entire thing when the game was on. Just the tail end of it (the best part).

2. Chris Hemsworth (the Thor guy) Alexa commercial. Seemed funnier during the game.

9 Scary Birds That Will Make You Cherish Your Spot On The Food Chain

From New Guinea's poisonous hooded pitohui to the spine-snapping beak of the African shoebill, hope you never cross paths with these birds.​


Birds are commonly associated with tranquility and freedom. But for every singing cockatiel with a cute Instagram, there’s a terrifying pelican that can crush a baby crocodile in one bite.

While the dangerous traits of these scary birds evolved to ensure their survival, some species give us a good reason to be afraid. Don’t forget that even musical legend Johnny Cash was once nearly killed by an ostrich.

Let’s take a look at nine scary birds you’d never want to encounter in the wild.

Yikes. Having had an encounter with a Canada Goose was bad enough.

Lepanto Institute calls for Pope Leo to laicize New Mexico priest over homosexual ‘domestic partnership’

The Lepanto Institute has formally requested that Pope Leo laicize and suspend from ministry a New Mexico priest who entered into a homosexual “domestic partnership” for ten years during a 28-year leave of absence from the priesthood.

Lepanto sent a copy of its August 2025 report on Fr. Steve Rosera, of the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, New Mexico, along with the notarized “divorce” documents of Rosera and his “partner,” issued by the Superior Court of California for the County of San Francisco, to the Papal Nuncio to the United States, His Eminence, Christophe Cardinal Pierre. This followed a recent in-person conversation with the Nuncio in which Lepanto brought the scandal to his attention in Washington, D.C.

Lepanto requested of the Nuncio that the report and court documents be delivered in person, via the Apostolic pouch, to Pope Leo XIV, with the request that the Holy Father impose the canonical penalties incurred by a priest for grave violations of the vow of celibacy: suspension from ministry and laicization.

The request comes after more than six months of inaction on the part of Rosera’s immediate superior, Archbishop John Wester, following Lepanto’s exposure of the scandal through the publication of the court’s divorce documents. In fact, at the end of September of last year, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe held a convocation of priests, and in the presence of 80 priests a brave priest stood up and challenged Abp. John Wester about our story on Fr. Steve Rosera. A priest who was there sent us the following statement:

Prince George bishop calls for prayer, penance, saying shooting ‘has traumatized us all’

Prince George bishop calls for prayer, penance, saying shooting ‘has traumatized us all’​

At least 10 people are dead, including young teens, and many are wounded in a mass shooting in northern British Columbia, Canada.



On the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes — the Church’s World Day of the Sick — Prince George Bishop Stephen Jensen called people of faith to prayer and penance following Tuesday’s mass school shooting in Tumbler Ridge in northern British Columbia, Canada.

“The unimaginable tragedy that struck the community of Tumbler Ridge yesterday has traumatized us all,” Jensen said in a statement released Wednesday morning.
At least 10 people were confirmed dead, with dozens injured, after a mass shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and a nearby residence.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the suspected shooter, believed to be an 18-year-old woman, was found dead from an apparent self-inflicted wound. Lockdowns and an emergency alert were lifted as officers secured the town and moved students to safety. Investigators continue examining connections between the shooter and victims.

Female wrestler says male opponent sexually assaulted her, school delayed reporting incident

High school wrestler Kallie Keeler just wanted the match to end after she was recently forced to compete against a male during a girls' wrestling competition, alleging that her opponent sexually assaulted her when he pinned her to the ground.

The 16-year-old, a sophomore at Rogers High School in Washington state, said during an interview with unDivided host Brandi Kruse that she didn’t even know before the match that her opponent was male.

During the match against a wrestler from Emerald Ridge High School, which took place on Dec. 6, 2025, Keeler’s opponent reportedly "reached between her legs and, very forcefully for several seconds, put their fingers in her private area,” Kruse recapped.

You've got too much time on your hands...
This site deserves some comic relief particularly after reading the rather disgusting justifications of shooting people based on political beliefs.
As an Australian living rurally I can legally own firearms to shoot vermin not people, carrying arms in public whether concealed or not is an anathema to most people living in countries where gun ownership is not a God given right.
Gun violence has become normalised like driving a car which can lead to collateral damage in the form of death and injury.
