  • 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

    Fear of going to the doctor

    I know exactly what you mean - I still have a similar fear for my dental health that keeps me from going to the dentist as often as I should (I think I went about six months ago, though - first normal visit in a while). It's just hard to believe sometimes that what I'm feeling isn't necessarily...

    Natural Remedy???

    If you need an on-the-spot remedy, one thing that usually helps me is closing my eyes and breathing with my stomach (as opposed to breathing with my chest - pay attention to how you breath sometime and you'll know what I mean). Also, long-run remedies are running until you get that "runner's...

    I'm sorry to hear of your troubles; know of my prayers. You're fighting the good fight!:thumbsup: The Book of Wisdom says that the just one is troublesome in the sight of the unjust - don't lose heart. :)

    Masturbation

    Also, there's a wonderful speaker named Christopher West who speaks on the Catholic idea of the "Theology of the Body". If I am thinking correctly, masturbation uses the sexual urge for merely pleasurable purposes and turns it in on the acting person, whereas sex is made to be generative and...

    Do you feel Charles should be king?

    I say this as a-cynically as possible, but I don't see a problem with it - the English monarchy has a healthy history of divorce and remarriage (cf. Henry VIII).

    Pray

    "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let all men know your forbearance. The Lord is at hand. Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all...
