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.
DOJ investigates Baltimore over racially segregated equity meetings
- By Michie
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a civil rights investigation into the Baltimore City Health Department over alleged racially segregated employee meetings. The sessions were conducted as part of publicly funded equity training efforts and separated staff into white-only and people-of-color-only groups.
In a letter to Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott, DOJ officials said they had “reasonable cause” to believe the department may be engaged in employment practices that violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The inquiry will examine whether BCHD’s racial affinity groups and training sessions constitute unlawful segregation or classification based on race, color, or national origin.

Ivy League Influencer: Why This Catholic Scholar Is Trying to Save Higher Ed

As the new provost of Dartmouth, Santiago Schnell is bringing a Catholic vision of higher ed to the heart of elite academia.
As a world-renowned mathematical biologist and a devoted Catholic, Santiago Schnell had something of a dream job at the University of Notre Dame. There, as dean of the College of Science, he played a leading role in forming the next generation of Catholic scientists, while pursuing fruitful collaborations with theologians and participating in the campus’ rich sacramental life.
But when Sian Leah Beilock, the president of Dartmouth College and an emerging leader of higher-ed reform, asked the Venezuelan-born scholar to join her as the Ivy League institute’s provost, Schnell accepted the offer.
Not for prestige, but for a purpose.

Patient Advocate on Passage of New York Assisted-Suicide Bill: ‘Reexamine Your Consciences’

The Catholic bishops had urged Hochul not to pass the bill, saying that it undermined her own work on anti-suicide programs.
In spite of opposition from Catholic bishops and patient advocate groups, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Feb. 6 signed a bill to legalize physician-assisted suicide in the Empire State.
Assisted suicide is already legal in California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey, New Mexico, Oregon, Vermont, Washington, and Washington, D.C.
Hochul, a Catholic, had already announced she would sign the bill once “guardrails” were added — specifically, laws to allow faith-based hospice providers to opt out of offering assisted suicide.
The Catholic bishops had urged Hochul not to pass the bill, saying that it undermined her own work on anti-suicide programs.

Dominican Father Gregory Pine Addresses Theology of Speech and ‘Training the Tongue’

New book is practical guide — grounded in thought of St. Thomas Aquinas — that invites readers to reflect on how their words shape their interior lives.
In his new book, Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech (Emmaus Road), Dominican Father Gregory Pine freely admits that ever since he can remember he has struggled to achieve “purity of speech.”
With disarming candor, Father Pine recounts his own past verbal missteps: a white lie he told to avoid blame, a wounding remark he made out of a desire to seem clever, the time he talked disparagingly about a friend, his overzealous correction of others, and the “rough-and-tumble” banter he was slow to realize might be offensive to those outside the East Coast suburb where he grew up.
Knowing that the author, a professor of dogmatic and moral theology at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., has stumbled in these ways makes it easier for readers to take stock of their own sins of speech. Yet Training the Tongue isn’t simply a jeremiad against “bad talk.” Rather, it is practical guide — grounded in the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas — that invites readers to reflect on how their words shape their interior lives.

Religious Liberty Commission removes member who defended Candace Owens
- By Michie
A member of the U.S. Department of Justice's Religious Liberty Commission has been removed after she defended Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson during a recent hearing on combating antisemitism, denying that the media personalities have encouraged Jew hatred or promoted Jewish stereotypes.
In a social media post on Wednesday morning, Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who chairs the Religious Liberty Commission, announced the removal of Carrie Prejean Boller, a former Miss California, from the commission. Patrick said the removal was his decision and was based on what happened during Monday's meeting. He stated that "no member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue."
