  • 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.

She seems nice.

Kosovo Online: Sanija Ameti, a councilwoman from Zurich’s Liberal Green Party and originally from Kosovo, found herself at the center of a scandal after posting on social media a video of herself shooting at an image of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus Christ.

Following this shocking post, Ameti was met with a wave of criticism.

She had posted a photo showing her shooting at an image, which local media reports claim is a reproduction by a medieval Italian artist, taken from an illustrated catalog.

After a series of negative reactions, Sanija Ameti removed the post and apologized.

Continued below.

Just a few decades ago, her parents were probably among those who were blowing up Orthodox Churches that had existed for centuries, built before Columbus sailed to the Americas

The demons are coming out of the woodworks, so the End Times are officially here. Politicians are not of God, but of the devil. This Swiss politician is one of those.

This story is horrendous. :eek:

In a broadcast this week on the Grace Force Youtube channel, Fr. Dan Reehil (Exorcist) talked about the increase in demonic activity he is seeing globally, and specifically here in America.

I'd never heard this priest speak before, but what he had to share was so good ... and so helpful and encouraging. I am always interested in hearing from the exorcists in the Church ... what they are seeing, what is their understanding of things. He had alot to share.

In this video, Fr. Reehil mainly addresses the subject of fear, something he says he is seeing in people more than in any other time in his lifetime. He talks about how he believes we should address it. And he talks about the importance of praying for priests.

Fr. Reehil's message this week was intended to instill hope, and it did, in me.

If anyone is interested:

Imagine if she did that to Muslim or Jewish art. the left would be OUTRAGED.

Double standard.
Not so sure about the Jewish art given the rising antisemitism but Muslim? Most definitely.

There is no doubt in my mind, Catholicism is under attack.

Something must be going on (?) in the diocese within which I live. (Or maybe everywhere?) Catholic churches here have begun notifying parishioners that the church doors will be locked, 5 minutes after the Mass begins. No one will be able to enter the church for Mass, after that time.

I haven't yet seen armed security at the churches here, but many churches do seem to be working towards tightening up their security. I think this is a very good idea. And hopefully there are armed parishioners within the congregation, who can 'help' should the church come under attack.

No surprises here.

Yet the left still says Christians are being hated or persecuted.

They're hypocrites.

Lord, protect us.
