• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Dates aren't THAT important now! ;) I saw a Youtube video today about a guy who had a near death experience in 2020 just after pope Francis died where he says he saw pope Francis in hell. I don't know for sure when this guy had his NDE but pope Francis lived to the spring of 2025. Needless to say about two minutes of that bogus video and I moved on. If he had his dates straight (days, months, years) he might have been more credible.

Anyhow, Rembert Weakland was there, and that alone is enough to make me suspicious.

Thomas Merton.

That would be the most parsimonious explanation. Before ground fault interrupts, alot of people died electrocuted in bathrooms, for similar reasons.
