  • 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

    If I understand correctly, it's their hermeneutics that I disagree with, as well as Sola Scriptura.

    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    While I've developed severe doubts about the ability of Protestantism to maintain long-term social & theological stability and to avoid fractiousness, I still have much love for my Protestant brothers and sisters. My grandfather built the Nazarene church in my hometown, and both my father's...

    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    I'll be sure to visit the links you provided. I've been very interested in Orthodoxy ever since becoming aquainted with the monks from St Herman of Alaska Monastery and being given one of Seraphim Rose's books. I still have an open invitation to go up there in fact.

    Question for Catholics from an ex-Protestant in search of a denomination

    I was raised Nazarene but I think I'm completely convinced at this point that I can't be Protestant. Now I just have to figure whether I should be Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. I really struggle, as many do, with the current corruption of the Church & the Papacy. I understand that it was the...
