  • 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

    Is Mass Going through the motions?

    Is it possible that in all reality, that church is not a necessity, and that one may receive the same salvation from prayer and reflection on their own? Has church not become merely ritualistic? It seems after reflecting upon my church services that it seems as if we are merely going through the...

    Suicide = Damnation to Hell?

    Throughout my time studying the Catholic religion, i've heard much about suicide damning someone to hell, yet never knew if this was the exact truth. This past week in my city, a kid committed suicide, and i was brought back to pondering about his fate. I know suicide is taking away the most...
