  • 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

    Ideas Needed

    I work in a Catholic School Grades preK-6. Our theme for Catholic Schools Week deals with service. I wanted to have the kids do something for the priests because they spend their entire lives serving the needs of their parishoners. Any ideas on what we could do? Thanks

    Rediscoving Catholicism by Matthew Kelly

    It's on my list of things to read. He came to our parish last year to do our Parish Renewal. He is a fantastic speaker. The church was packed for all 4 nights.

    The Invisible Cross of Mary

    Dear Mother, They judged you, as the mother of Jesus The Nazarene. Then they gave you, an Invisible Cross of Pain and Sorrow. They mocked you, for being His mother. Your cross, is not made of wood. Your cross, is made of sorrow and tears, it is invisible to most people, but to those who love...

    Just Got the Shorter Christian Prayer Book

    Hi! I just got the shorter Christian Prayer book so that my husband and I can pray morning and evening prayer together, but I am completely lost as to where I should be in the book. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Page numbers would help! Thanks Karla

    Christmas morning

    We spend Christmas morning at home and I would not change that for anything. We spend the morning in PJ's and eat birthday cake for breakfast. Kids open gifts and we listen to Christmas music. We usually go to mass on Christmas Eve.

    I'm Invisible (to all you moms out there)

    I know what you mean about the phone. Not too long ago the "emergency" was the need to tell me that he wanted me to buy Coco Pops for breakfast the next time I was at the store. Oh to be 5 and have that as your biggest concern :)

    I'm Invisible (to all you moms out there)

    I'm invisible....... It all began to make sense, the blank stares, the lack of response, the way one of the kids will walk into the room while I'm on the phone and ask to be taken to the store. Inside I'm thinking, "Can't you see I'm on the phone?" Obviously not. No one can see if I'm on the...

    Funny Things Kids Say!

    At soccer practice the kids broke up into two teams to play a little scrimmage against eachother. One boy on my sons (4 yrs. old) team scored a goal - Dylan ran up to him and did the belly bump thing and then said "Joe you didn't score that goal WE scored that goal - it's called teamwork"
