  • 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

    The Liberal Catholic Church

    We are progressive Catholics and those that would deem so. We welcome everyone as Christ would. We are embracing of other religions and other cultures. That is how I wanted this forum to be.

    Gay Marriage - Big Deal?

    We should work to have gay marriage accepted in the Church. In fact, I do not know if there is a debate in hand: Progressive Catholics must support gay marriage as couples must participate in the sacrament of marriage.

    Catholic vs Orthodoxy

    "Ecclesia catholica semper in reformatione" yes, we would dare to shape something according to its essential being. As the Church Council in 1414 calls for (way before VII): "reform in faith and practice, in head and members."

    the dangers of worldliness...

    By keeping your eyes on Christ. He will know and He accepts you. But you must consider how the Church provides for you. You must know that you are an agent of change in your Church...that you do not have to accept the tragedies and miscalculations of the Church in your faith formation. No...
