  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    So what denomination are you?

    I was born and raised Roman Catholic. Had a "Luther" moment. Was on my way to being Anglican, but stopped in at a Vineyard church. Haven't left there. I am theologically Anabaptist/Wesleyan and attend a Vineyard Church.

    My daughter did a 30 hour fast

    30 Hour Famine iirc from my days as a catholic youth director the people who put out the rice bowls during lent do a catholic version as well. I try to fast for 24 hrs at least once a week (I've gotten lazy and not done the last two weeks :( ) . It truly reminds you of how the flesh controls...

    Catholic academics slam Boehner for ‘anti-life’ voting record

    To me, every thing they point out is the job and responsibility of the church. Not one thing mentioned is the responsibility of the government. Sorry, the US government is not designed or intended to be the nanny of all persons poor and in dire straits. Where exactly is the church in all this...

    Narcissism in Music (or, “How Gregorian Chant can Save the World”)

    Do you support stealing from one individual to provide for another individual's needs? ie - Would it be ok for someone to come into your home and take your microwave and go and give it to someone who doesn't have one without your permission?

    Narcissism in Music (or, “How Gregorian Chant can Save the World”)

    It is NOT and has NEVER BEEN the job of the government (in the US particularly) to take care of people. Our Constitution is based on the ideas of individual freedom and liberty - which is reciprocated by individual responsibility. If our society is fostering "selfishness and greed" then the...

    If Pope John Paul II can be a saint, really, anybody can...

    I think the Bible says only Jesus Christ was perfect - no? I don't think saints were "perfect" but rather exemplified Christ through their lives by decreasing their "selves". A priest once told me that the saints in stained glass windows have been "white washed" by tradition and that they were...

    What are the consequences of not believing in Transubstantiation/Eucharist?

    I'm sorry - and I'll just say this to avoid debate - but you don't know that. Validity is a legal concept. You don't know in definitive terms what God does and doesn't do.

    Anglicans to consider opening communion to unbaptized

    They're the libs up in Canda - they broke away by their blessings of same-gender unions and female priesthood years ago :(

    Katy Perry Peacock

    I went through a period in my life where I was ...ummm...let's see..morally decrepit..but through God's grace I came around. I think Katy will too. What is this that you're referring to..I'm clueless???

    Has anyone read Crazy Love by Francis Chan?

    As a Catholic were you offended in anyway by it? I don't think anyone would be - of course you would disagree with the Calvinist theology of the author. I'm wondering b/c a friend of mine is in a mixed (Catholic/Protestant) marriage and they want to start doing book studies in their home that...

    Ephraim, not the Jews, bears Abraham's blessing of power + myraids of descendants.

    Abraham was not a Jew. Jews come from the lineage of Judah, who was Abraham's great-grandson. He was actually from Chaldea (Babylon)...(I believe modern day Iraq).. "...and Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife...

    German Catholic theologians call for change in Catholic Church

    I've seen you make this claim before - could you point me to the reference? I would like to read up on it as I think it is totally bunk....but definitely willing to change my mind!
