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.

Trump Admin’s ‘Pro-Family’ Rhetoric May Face Reality Check in Washington

With hopes for significantly bolstering the per child credit dimmed amid a looming tax battle, conservatives are looking for other ways to boost families under Trump.
The incoming Trump administration’s campaign promises to make having kids more affordable, such as by bolstering the child tax credit, will likely face stiff challenges amidst a forthcoming tax battle, including from fellow Republicans.
Despite the GOP’s “trifecta” of control over the House, Senate and White House heading into the new term, intra-party concerns over government spending, a reshuffling of congressional leadership, and opposition from Democrat opponents are all factors that could limit the new administration’s ability to put robust “pro-family” policies into practice.

No Meat on Fridays? Some Bishops Say It’s a Good Idea

Proposal that aims to bring back rule that US bishops lifted in 1966 has a following.
A suggestion by an Eastern Rite bishop that Catholics in the United States once again give up eating meat on Fridays throughout the year has drawn interest from more than a dozen bishops in the country.
Several bishops told the Register they hope the U.S. bishops discuss the idea at their next gathering in June 2025.
But an early canvas suggests a renewed practice, if it occurs, might look different from the Church’s previous rule, which forbade Catholics from eating meat on almost all Fridays of the year under pain of mortal sin. Several bishops told the Register they don’t want to go that route.

Parents group wants federal probe of whites-only, anti-racist affinity groups in Boston schools
- By Michie
A parental rights advocacy group is calling for a federal investigation into Boston Public Schools after leaked internal documents show the district organized racially-segregated affinity groups for teachers and parents, which included programs intended for whites only.
Parents Defending Education filed a complaint last week through the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s office in Boston, requesting an investigation to determine whether BPS’ actions violated Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Boston Public Schools did not immediately respond to The Christian Post’s request for comment.

Louisiana can force some schools to display Ten Commandments, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court has limited the scope of a lower court ruling that prohibited Louisiana from enforcing a new law that requires the placement of Ten Commandments displays in public school classrooms.

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill celebrated the order, saying in a statementshe looks forward to "immediately working with all of our school boards who are not involved in this lawsuit to implement the law soon!”
