  • 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

    praying for priests

    I seem to remember hearing that we should pray for priests during the processional and recessional (especially during the recessional), but I can't seem to find any sort of documentation of this. Is this something I've dreamed up? Or can someone verify that this is a real practice? Thanks!

    How to stop???

    I really like a guy where I work. He's kind, funny, smart. He's also married. The other night, I had a really detailed dream about him. The next day at work, we had to work in the same area (usually we are in different areas). I told him that about the dream I had and I think I made a mistake by...

    Catholic Morality -- please help

    What teachings? Is there a specific section of the Catechism that I haven't found??? :confused: Are there any books that you know of that can help me?

    Catholic Morality -- please help

    It's supposed to be about Catholic morality in general. I think that if I go into different areas and applications, I would end up writing my own book. :sorry:

    Catholic Morality -- please help

    I have an assignment for my RCIA class. It's not due until February, but I wanted to start on it now since the holidays can be hectic. We've been asked to write a short 1-2 page paper on a topic for our RCIA class (if we feel comfortable). The topic I drew out of the hat was "Catholic Morality"...

    Are these all MORTAL sins????

    Thanks for the link. It cleared things up for me. I just wanted to clarify my first post about becoming Catholic. It was starting to seem impossible to actually receive Communion because I end up doing at least one of those things everyday. I had read, in other posts, the "requirements" for...

    I was wondering about mortal sins and saw these (and other similar) websites: http://www.saintaugustinechurch.org/university/goodconfession.html http://www.willingshepherds.net/Examination.html The question I have is: If I've done these things, have I committed MORTAL sins? :eek: If so, I...

    New Catholics?

    I did! :wave: I start RCIA this fall. I also agree with Snoochface that you should post on the OBOB board. There are a couple of us over there.

    Which practices are not consistent with YOUR Christianity

    What exactly is "Use of mild drugs (including psych. prescription meds)"? Does that mean using prescription and OTC medicines instead of "street drugs"?

    Foreign language Bibles and missals

    A friend of mine is going to visit her family in another country (Germany) for Christams. I thought about giving her a Bible and/or missal in German for Christmas for her trip. What do you think of this idea? Also, does anyone know where I can get a Catholic Bible and/or missal in German...
