  • 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.

    Is humanity's fossil fuel consumption infantilizing ?

    Could God be waiting for men to wean themselves from the different energy types, so as to consider His adoptive sons have become men (see Kipling's poem) ? What's your opinion, please ?

    Please, why is Elisabeth greeting Mary so (Lk 1, 42)

    Yes, Mrs Billingsley, i read too quickly your message, and missed this quote : A reason why she told "among women" could likely be Elizabeth was mother of the precursor, and her fame had already spread in the country. She was likely just passing on the torch. You gave me a good clue

    Please, why is Elisabeth greeting Mary so (Lk 1, 42)

    Idem, Mr Lamb, sorry also for my late answer. If we consider what i just wrote Mrs Billingsley, i hardly see some significative difference between "among" and "above"

    Please, why is Elisabeth greeting Mary so (Lk 1, 42)

    Thank you, and sorry for my late reply. i was not suggesting Elizabeth could have been lying, and i would add this piece of information is valuable, of course.. But i remain perplexed yet : Doesn't it point to the hypothesis she embodies something absolute, while other women, some more relative...

    Please, why is Elisabeth greeting Mary so (Lk 1, 42)

    I' m just a little puzzled why Elisabeth doesn't just tell Mary she's blessed. Why does she add : "among women" ? Why does it seem needed ? My first thought is indeed : why does she distinguish her from the other women ? May be is it not for a distinction, but i fail to see another motivation
