  • 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

He is the founder of catholic.com and is considered the father of modern Catholic apologetics. Radio Replies by Leslie Rumble is a three volume set that literally...

    I want to read about getting closer to Christ, but I don't know where to start

    Scialen, You've already got some great books to start with. Imitation of Christ is great, as is the Diary of St. Faustina. Though her diary is very long, it's really worth the read. She is so in love with Jesus it is incredibly inspiring (and at least for me, shines light on how far I have...
