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.
‘The Unbreakable Boy’ Affirms the Value of a Child — and Finding Joy Amid Life’s Challenges
- By Michie
Inspiring movie opens in theaters this Friday.
Austin LeRette is a special little boy.
Because of his conditions, Austin is not simply a one-in-a-million child, but rather, a young man who was born with a combination of problems that occur only once in four billion births. Those are the odds of being born with both a rare brittle bone disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) and autism. Beginning with his birth, when the doctor’s forceps broke the tiny baby’s ribs, Austin has suffered countless broken bones — and his parents have struggled to keep safe their growing, inquisitive, active and very vulnerable son.
But what makes Austin truly unique is his joy-filled, life-affirming worldview, which transforms and unites everyone around him — especially his father, Scott, whose life is changed as he comes to see his son not as a symbol of something broken, but as the triumph of an indestructible spirit.
Kingdom Story Co. and Lionsgate bring this sweet, faith-based true story to the big screen in The Unbreakable Boy, opening in theaters on Feb. 21. The audience will break into smiles at the charming and exuberant Austin (played by Kellen Martelli as a 4-year-old and by Jacob Laval as a young teen).

Catholic social scientists make the case for marriage and children

- One Bread, One Body - Catholic

Catholic social scientists are doing some of the most important work in the public square making a reasoned case for both state and society to promote marriage and stable two-parent families as important public goods.
I invited three of them — Melissa Kearney, Catherine Pakaluk and Brad Wilcox — onto OSV’s “Catholic in America” podcast to share more about how their recent books draw together mountains of research to make the case for why people should ignore the lies our culture tells us and get married, stay together and have big families.
We know by our Catholic faith — and the commonsense borne from plenty of human experience — that the natural family founded on marriage between a man and a woman is the building block of society.

A Laotian woman received a new Bible after hers was stolen. When Vanh became a believer in Christ, her husband divorced her and drove her and their children out of the house.

Former Jihadi Now Serves Jesus
[5] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Brother Yazan.
Brother Yazan, once a jihadi, now serves Christ despite persecution. He served as a jihadi fighter with al-Qaida in Syria, then joined the al-Nusra Front, an Islamist group fighting a civil war against the Syrian government. At one point during the war, the self-proclaimed Islamic State (ISIS) began fighting against al-Nusra Front, upsetting Yazan. "How could two Muslim groups want to kill each other?" he thought. He soon ceased to be a jihadi soldier. Read More.

‘Woke Fever Broke’: The Backstory on How Ryan Anderson’s Book Returned to Amazon
- By Michie
Despite the book being put back on the website, the ‘When Harry Became Sally’ author says the move is ‘transparently political.’
It was just a couple of weeks ago that the news broke: Ryan Anderson’s bestselling book When Harry Became Sally was back on the virtual shelves of Amazon’s online bookstore. As Catholics and conservatives applauded the news, it was a call and answer that occurred on the Twittersphere, or the X-sphere, Anderson pointed out.
In recounting the tale to EWTN News, Anderson, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said that he found the decision “transparently political,” and he says despite the executive orders and the tide turning for those who believe in common sense, people’s guard should not come down on such issues.
In conversations with EWTN Pro-Life Weekly and EWTN Radio, Anderson maps out this big win that highlights the power of a tweet — but he says the fight is far from over.
