  • 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 Archbishop’s statements stand as a powerful rebuke of Vatican officials trying to characterize Africa’s rejection of the modernist agenda a “cultural factors.”

The Archbishop of Cameroon’s Catholic Archdiocese of Bamenda has faulted claims that the Church in Africa is only influenced by culture when taking a position on controversial topics, especially those raised in the ongoing multi-year Synod on Synodality, which Pope Francis extended to 2024, with the first phase, 4-29 October 2023, having concluded with a 42-page summary report.

According to Archbishop Andrew Nkea Fuanya, Africa’s “vehement no” on hot-button topics such as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) outreach and the ordination of female Deacons was guided by Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church, and “not purely” the continent’s culture, which he said had been described as “inferior.”

In his presentation at the August 23 session of the ongoing weekly synodal palavers, Archbishop Nkea recalled the meetings that Africa’s delegatesto the Synod on Synodality held before the first phase of the Synod in which he said participants spoke in one voice regarding topics that they picked up from Instrumentum Laboris, the working document for the Synod.

Africa is the future of the Church!
Even atheist researchers know that in the 5000 year history of civilization studied, once a society abandons monogamy, especially premarital chastity, the society collapses with in three generations, with a generation being defined as 33 years
The USA is on track toward societal collapse as evidenced by the 2024 election issues. When a society abandons chastity, it loses cohesion and a sense of purpose.

This research was done out of Oxford and Cambridge in the 1930s. It appears to have been largely ignored

Definitely not surprising.

We get to go downhill now. Zoom.
we have to repent, call on the name of the Lord, and seek His holy face.

We have to have the courage to stand up to the spirit of the age. That spirit is feminism. I can hear the groans now and shoots of misogynist and toxic, but just take a look at what it stands for.

The major left wing causes all destroy women by taking the one thing that makes a woman a woman, motherhood. I apologize to all women that are childless through no fault of their own.
You are loved by God and fully woman.
I refer to the deliberate destruction of motherhood. Abortion deliberately and with malice murders a child and thereby destroys a mother. Sterilization prevents motherhood and renders her a plaything of men instead of the mother she is supposed to be. Transgender makes a mockery of women by having men say that they are women, even though they can never be mothers. In others, women destroy their own bodies to live as men.

Could this be anything but a lie of Satan that promises power and fame for discarding motherhood and venturing to work outside the home? Your man is suppressing you, destroy your motherhood and take his place then discard him. Good plan. Sound familiar? I will put enmity between you and the woman. Satan does not just hate Mary. He hates all women and what they can be in God’s kingdom.

Even some Traditional Catholics bristle at the thought of being subject to their husbands.
Husbands fail to lead or else try to become tyrants. This should not be.

Research the history of feminism and you can clearly see its source. Early feminists were in a free love relationship with poet Percy Shelly and Lord Byron. The one they admired most, as the soul that was most free, was the Marquis de Sade. This was 150 years before the free love of the 1960s

The original American feminists Elizabeth Stanton and Susan Anthony were spiritists that gathered around the spirit board to get messages from beyond. They even wrote a woman’s Bible that has the serpent as the hero that brought great knowledge and wisdom. Same lie as before, you shall be as God’s

They endeavored to subvert men and overthrow the patriarchy through promiscuity
Premarital promiscuity then marital frigidity
This now seems to be the accepted norm in society. Sexual intercourse and cohabitation before marriage then calling a man a pervert if he calls in the marital debt after marriage

This lie must end. We need to restore motherhood as a good to be desired, rather than an inconvenience to be avoided in then name of freedom

Does anyone have the courage to try?
