  • 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.

    So we went to Mass today...

    When I got married it occured to me on the spurr of the moment to ask all the bridesmaids to wear light perfume if any at all. They all had been married before (bridematrons really) so they know the drill about wedding days, bride stands alot and doesn't get to eat much. So perfume can really...

    This conversation is a mess and a half. (warning - long post)

    I skimmed a book written by a college professor that converted to Catholicism. In the first part of the book, he wrote about how a student came up to him with all sorts of 'questions' that disproved Christianity. He responded something like, "If I answer those questions for you will you...

    half and half

    The first time I tasted Earl Grey I was in Jamaica (A month ago) and I sheepishly asked for iced tea at dinner. The waitress took on the challenge and I had the best darn tasting iced tea I've ever had. They used Tetley Earl Grey with some sugar and alot of ice. I don't mean to offend hot...

    Rosary Army on Sirius

    Ok, you lucky people that have Sirius, how is the new show?? I'm in a money bind (who isn't?) at the moment so I'm postponing my Sirius subscription until next year. But I don't know if I can wait that long. I'm so glad that they have both EWTN and The Catholic Channel. I'm not good...

    I don't know what to do anymore :(

    I think you need to step back and reevaluate this friendship. Basically, by asking you to participate in this activity he wasn't BEING your friend. He was fullfilling his fantasies and using you selfishly. Friends aren't supposed to do that. I'm not saying you should ditch him...

    It's not working.

    Wow. Prayers for you. Please don't let this get you down. I think you should try to get out more, not just to churches. There has to be some sort of community activity or charity that you can be involved in. I think you need to feel like you aren't so isolated. Once you have more...

    husaband-->catholic me--> evangelical

    I suggest reading the book, When Only One Converts It contains stories mainly from the viewpoints of a spouse that converts to Catholicism and has issues in his/her spouse. Some couples end up divorces, some stay together with each spouse converting, and some stay together while having...

    I can't believe this

    I tend to lurk alot. And it always strikes me as lap-slapping hilarious that posters like Cosmic Charlie have plenty to say about sanctimonious, nose up in the air, judgemental conservative Catholics.....and then turns around and shows the same behaviour when it comes to something he knows...
