  • 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

    Joachim if I was a pregnant teenager and your daughter, I would run away from home before you could force an adoption....I wouldn't care about your will and you would never see your Grandchild.....I would rather live on the streets... Do you know how many damaged people exist because their...

    Obama Warmly Greeted at Notre Dame

    How many living babies have been killed by the bombs dropped on Iraq and Afghanistan? Is that the action of people that respect life? Yet how many people here supported the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? Do you think Bush and Cheney are evil too? How many children have been maimed by those...

    Obama Warmly Greeted at Notre Dame

    God Bless Father Jenkins... he is a brave man.... When the same numbers of right wing Christians are protesting torture and the War in Iraq .... which have utterly damned by two Popes ..(Last week Pope Benedict talked endlessly about peace and human dignity..)...I will give the protestors...

    Is being a Christian legal in Australia?

    Yeap!!! Sorry but Americans are not persecuted for being Christians.... Try being Christians in Iraq, Sri Lanka or stuck in Palestine..... Gay unions are legal in the UK, sex education is taught in schools and I am not threatened by any of it... we have tight gun laws, evolution is taught in...

    Birth Control

    I know what that church teaches and I know what it's people practice.. I don't expect ABC to be endorsed, but I also don't expect people to be called evil as they have been for making that choice... when someone on this board says a woman with Tublagation, is ex-communicated... How many men get...

    Birth Control

    Good for you, you are a super woman and have loads of kids, it works for you....but it doesn't work with every woman and in economic crisis it works with even fewer... Some mothers with autistic children chose to not have more to concentrate on the children they have, others find their marriage...

    Birth Control

    I actually agree with that...outside of our cosy, western world that most here on this board live in.. there are millions of children with nothing to eat, who are sold to feed their families....I also think that as we are in serious economic trouble (what ever the UK and US suffer it will be ten...

    Birth Control

    Fortunately you don't actually decide that, you are not a confessor, you are not a priest and you are not a man either, so it is not your decision or your place to suggest who can and can't receive communion... You don't know who is using ABC or NFP to prevent pregnancy and both are used to...

    An Open Letter from Professor Joseph Seifert on Archbishop Fisichella's Article...

    Sorry but Archbishop Fisichella is a hero, I was personally relieved when I read his comments....He was praised because people were deeply distressed by what happened in Brazil and it was very damaging to The Church....It came across as once again as protecting pedophiles, while a little girl...

    Birth Control

    As a member of a Jesuit parish, I have never heard mortal sin mentioned and nobody is ex-communicated.. infact we have a very large congregation..... I don't think it is encouraging it is loving people anyway and accepting the realities of life, which men at The Vatican often do not face... You...

    Birth Control

    I am from a parish of two thousand plus, and people with more than three children are unusual... I don't believe they are limiting their families through NFP alone, most conciously stop after two children, many for finincal reasons or because two is enough to give their attention too...I suspect...

    Ron Howard slams William Donohue's "silly and mean spirited work of propaganda"

    Surely it would be wiser for William Donahue and al, to say nothing rather than give this film more free publicity...I have read Angels and Demon's, it has some interesting points but it is basically a badly written thriller, that has had more publicity than it deserves... I am not offended by...

    Who is the real threat? Children pushed to suicide

    If a kid is constantly hearing the adults around him saying Gays are bad and abominations to God, if they are hearing people being called gay because of their political beliefs or because they don't play enough sports, how are they going to be able to respect other kids that they perceive to be...

    Vatican OK with Obama's first 100 days

    In all the vitriol about Obama being the abortion mastermind, the Pregnant Women Support Act, has oddly passed people by...The Vatican isn't calling for Obama supporters to be excommunicated or for him to be protested against, they aren't calling him evil or a dark force or even a baby killer...
