  • 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

Lifesaver

I'm an avid student of economics and philosophy.

Austrian School economics (especially Ludwig von Mises) and St. Thomas Aquinas are my two intellectual passions, though I also learn much from other sources such as Hume, Wittgenstein and enjoy very much the discussions that take place in the Anglo-American analytic tradition.

Most importantly of all, though, I am an orthodox Roman Catholic who accepts all that comes with that, even though often fails to live up to it.

It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism; but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion. For while the mind of man looketh upon second causes scattered, it may sometimes rest in them, and go no further; but when it beholdeth the chain of them, confederate and linked together, it must needs fly to Providence and Deity.
-Francis Bacon, essay "On Atheism"
