  • 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

    What is the Catholic position on Science & Evolution?

    Visit a local Catholic parish priest. He will tell you how. You will need to enter into RCIA classes. God Bless you!

    What is the Catholic position on Science & Evolution?

    In essence the teaching from "Rome" is that we are free to believe any theory so long as God the creator is not removed from the equation and so long as we hold to man being created in His image.

    First Communion

    The situation here is this.. The associate Pastor, has asked that the parents of the children to receive first Communion, to attend a meeting to discuss the Sacrament. Less than half showed up. He then sent another invitation and politely suggestd that if the parents did not show, he would...

    First Communion

    Well, this is my thought as well... that because of the Grace that is given to us, and because a young one is innocent, that the early age is a good thing. But what bothers me is the lack of respect and adoration for the Blessed Sacrament. If a child that has unbelieving parents receives the...

    First Communion

    We are having an issue in our Parish. Many of the students that will be receiving first communion are not supported in their faith by their parents. Either the parents do not practise their faith or they are not Catholic to begin with. Do you think Grade 2 is to young for someone to be...

    Is breaking bread the same as Communion?

    Stivvy, It seems clear to me, upon reading the instruction from the Catechism, that we are not to partake in communion outside of the Eucharist. I did not see anyone say that "we cannot celebrate or worship of any kind" with our brethren outside of the Catholic faith. If that is your...

    Silly? question regarding transubstantiation...

    Look up MARK 10:27 Intersetingly enough, Catholics will be hearing this verse this week on Sunday. You're not saying that Jesus is a liar, are you? Peace.

    Catholics need not apply...

    It's funny you say that... I believe most non Catholic denoms think Catholicism is "liberal" when in fact, if they knew the Truth, they would realize Catholicism is one of the most conservative. Sorry to hear about your experience. I hope you find what you are looking for. May God Bless you!

    Silly? question regarding transubstantiation...

    Imagine being present at every murder, tragedy, accident, suicide, bomb blast, car crash, airplane crash etc etc etc, for all of earthly time. Not too mention being present when every single sin is committed against God... Jesus is there witnessing it all. We cannot comprehend the...
