  • 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 think it's time for me to leave...

    I believe it is time that I go... I will not be on tomorrow. Today is my last day. I want to thank all of you. You have all helped me to grow in my Catholic faith and to stand up for it. You've helped me to see how many people are around the world that believe in the same things as I do--and...

    What do you think?

    That's what I was thinking... While I've never been to a TLM, I've heard that the homily isn't in Latin...

    Read the book Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Makes me smile... remember times from when I was little, and get over it.

    CF makes me crazy...

    I really don't like wikis and haven't ever used 'em. When they first brought them into the picture I didn't like 'em and still don't. Let me know what I can do... but then, I'm starting to spend less and less time here...

    The NEW Rules!

    No, you're not alone. I've read parts, but not the whole thing. I don't think for half of us have to worry about the new rules here as they are similar to the old ones(from what I gathered reading the part I did)... Please, correct me if I'm wrong...
