  • 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 a lying prayer worse than a selfish one?

    If you believe that God knows you by heart, why do you think of being not honest to him? Pray for what you feel that you NEED.

    Oxford University professor claims aliens are already breeding with humans on earth

    It's the Times as well. But no matter, they only report what the professor is saying. I wonder why he does this. After all, it's his reputation as a scientist which he puts on the line. What's wrong with cheese burgers?

    Needing help processing

    Were they played and sung in poor quality? Or were they performed well, but the recording quality was bad? This can point you to what to do first to improve the recordings. Well, I'm the musical leader of my parish, and from my experience I would say that 8 new songs at once are way too much...
