  • 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.

Pretty simple: whether you observe Friday abstinence year-round or not, The Assumption is a solemnity which overrides days of fasting.

Conclusion: have a steak and express your love for our Our Lady.

Amen! Might as well have some beer too (in moderation, of course! ;) )

Of course. ;-)
Feast days are just that days of feast not fast
Also happens to be my birthday so feasting will be had

Anyone notice that Russia has been consecrated to Our Lady, and now Trump and Putin are meeting in Alaska on the feast of the Assumption?

Could be coincidence but it is cool to think about
