  • 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

    A Catholic's argument against the Orthodox position on divorce

    This assertion is incorrect. Whether a member of the Roman Church accepts the authority of the Canons of the Council of Trullo, they still bear witness to the consensus of the East and the Papal representatives who were present. The Canon also fits with St. Basil's statements on the matter and...

    Stop, please...? I clarified that point in the first post. If the deputy clerk signs it must state that it was done with permission of the clerk. She requested permission to remove her name from that. It it was denied. Thanks! Today is our parish festival and it's been a good time spent...

    Not according to Kentucky state law which says that is must have: "(c) The date and place the license is issued, and the signature of the county clerk or deputy clerk issuing the license." If it has the deputy clerk's signature it must say it was done with the the clerk's authority, that is...

    Has it been mentioned yet that she has said she would agree that licenses be issued so long as her signature (which appears no matter who issues it) is removed from the documents?

    Request for Clarification about Orthodox Teachings/History

    At this point it is clear to me that you are reading what you wish to see into works by Fr. Schmeman (which we have previously addressed) et al and are now merely arguing to argue. I have repeated myself multiple times and no longer have the inclination to participate in what I hoped was an...

    Request for Clarification about Orthodox Teachings/History

    As far as I know they no longer exist. They were burned as a result of the Sixth Council. Honorius would never have spoken according to the new Roman definition of ex cathedra because no Pope in the first millennium would ever have claimed the right to speak for anything but the See of Rome...

    Request for Clarification about Orthodox Teachings/History

    Pope Honorius was not anathematized because of what he failed to do, he actually confirmed and followed heresy. He even sent a Deacon named Gaios to represent him and Rome in confirming heresy at the Synod of Cyprus in 634. He officially taught and confirmed heresy in his position as Bishop of...

    Request for Clarification about Orthodox Teachings/History

    Patricius, do you understand that the Papacy has changed? Then-Cardinal Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict, understood this when he said that the Church of Rome and the Churches of the East had a more similar understanding of primacy than the Rome of today does with the Roman Church of 1054...
