  • 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.

Bishops: "We Need to Confiscate Any and All Weapons of Private Devotion"​


The US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) just met for their annual conferencesynodal encounter (somehow letting Bishop Strickland in!) and elected a new president, Oklahoma City Archbishop Paul Coakley.

But rather than allowing synodal engagement with the concerns raised by Bishop Strickland about recent actions of Fr. Martin James to continue, the assembly decided that other, more urgent matters, needed to be addressed and, in a gesture of harsh, but synodal, synodality, told him that they thought the ways of the spirit required that they no longer engage in their synodal encounter of listening to him. (TRANSLATION from the Synodalish: They ignored him.)

“The Catholic Church in the United States,” Bishop William W. Walker of West Palm Beach warned the assembly, “faces the grave danger of people not actively participating in the singing after Holy Communion. In my diocese alone, we’ve caught 165 instances in just the last month of people failing to sing ‘All Are Welcome’ and ‘We Remember’ and instead praying on these old-fashioned devices called ‘rosaries.’ We need to find a way to stop this. Beautiful performances of these classic hymns are being wrecked by people praying silently, while the clowns and LGBTQY+$67#!@|\?/ activists feel uncomfortable with people praying in that way in church.”

"Gather Us In" is now being translated into Latin. I wonder if the Trads will suddenly begin to sing it now instead of thinking of hurling?

"Gather Us In" is now being translated into Latin. I wonder if the Trads will suddenly begin to sing it now instead of thinking of hurling?
"Gather Us In" the choir is moaning
"Gather Us In" is our entrance song;
"Gather Us In": it sounds more like groaning
With chords that are minor and notes that are long.

"Gather Us In" we sing every Sunday
"Gather Us In" we sing every Mass;
Give us a break and play something different
"Gather Us In" gets old mighty fast!
