  • 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

`Raine

I'm in my 40s, female, and married. I live in western North Carolina & work as a counselor at a clinic for people recovering from opioid use disorder, while taking classes online toward my Masters in Social Work. I have a 14-year-old son who is currently homeschooled. He and I are both diagnosed with autism and ADHD.

I come from a Pentacostal & then fundamentalist Baptist background and travelled through a few other religions and denominations before discovering my home in the Roman Catholic Church.

I used to post on here a fair amount but left because of a lot of changes in my life and because there are things I still struggle with a lot as far as reconciling circumstances of my life and things I really want with trying to pursue holiness (or at least not choosing mortal sin because that's where following my heart in some areas would lead).

Soul of Christ, sanctify me

Body of Christ, save me
Blood of Christ, inebriate me
Water from the side of Christ, wash me
Passion of Christ, strengthen me
O good Jesus, hear me
Within Thy wounds hide me
Permit me not to be separated from Thee
From the malignant enemy defend me
In the hour of my death call me
And bid me come unto Thee
That with thy Saints I may praise Thee
Forever and ever
Amen
