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.

I'm not a Roman Catholic, so I hope I am not breaking forum rules by answering. I like that hymn, too, as it looks back to the first coming of Jesus at Bethlehem, and forward to His glorious Second Coming. I especially like this verse:Whether or not the hymn is cliche for the Advent season, it never fails to move me. I love it
"O come, O Branch of Jesse's stem,
unto your own and rescue them!
From depths of hell your people save,
and give them victory o'er the grave."

It is one of my favorites, too. My parish is using it as the Communion Hymn for all 4 Sundays. We're also singing the Missa Emmanuel Holy, Holy, Memorial Acclamation, Amen, and Lamb of God. The instrumental accompaniment at the Mass at which I serve is piano, trumpet, acoustic guitar, and double bass.
The one tune we're not doing this Advent that I really miss is Conditur alma siderium / Creator of the stars of night. I prefer it a cappella in either Latin or English.
===============
Lady: Are you the police?
Elwood Blues: No, ma'am, we're musicians ... We're on a mission from God.
