  • 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.

    Optics of Biden inauguration

    There will be a military presence because you fools tried to murder a bunch of congressmen. Period. If you were a professional wag your spin would have been laughed out of the meeting.

    Will A Biden Presidency Mean War

    I think you Trumpers shouldn’t waste time mischaracterizing President Elect Biden. You’ve got more important work to do, cannibalizing the Republican Party. Hurry along, now.

    Is there really a deep state?

    Great question. Has anybody noticed that in this discussion there is not a single source of fact based information or research? Rich people have more influence than I do, that is true. It this global cabal idea was introduced because Hillary Clinton had been in Washington for so long. It was...

    Permanent assignments for parish priests are long overdue

    I agree. I’m about to lose our Dominican pastor and another priest (who is a personal friend of mine.) they will get sent back to Washington DC for a while. My friend will be there permanently due Due to his Parkinson’s disease. I’ll miss them both.

    Mother! (The movie). Anyone see it?

    Agree. But the story seemed to flow better and I liked the actors in it. Silver Linings playbook was probably my favorite of her movies, but I thought Bradley cooper deserved the Oscar for his role.

    Mother! (The movie). Anyone see it?

    Jennifer Lawrence is a local girl (Louisville KY.) Her parents home is not far away from me, and their day camp for kids is very close. So I’m a big fan and supporter of J Law, but that movie just seems to creepy in a bad way for my taste. It’s on Netflix or Amazon Prime, and I just skip over...

    Asking for prayers

    I just wanted to check in here and thank you all for your prayers. Interestingly, on Tuesday, my sister found out that she had false positives on everything but the throat and bone. She is still stage 4, but she has a fighting chance. Keep praying though, because the latest doctor says he...

    This is my favorite Catholic Icon of Mary

    That is the immaculate heart of Mary. Simeon prophesized to her that her heart would be pierced with a sword, referring to the crucifixion of her Son. There is a similar image called Our Mother of Sorrows, which shows seven swords piercing her heart, each representing a specific sorrow she...

    Asking for prayers

    for my sister. She found out today that she has maybe 6months to live. Cancer in her throat, lymph nodes, vertebrae, bones, and pancreas. Obviously no real hope of a cure. She hasn’t been an active Catholic for years, but I hope to get her back in the Church soon. Today was not the day to...

    I had an interesting experience after confession.

    I was talking about myself. Not you.

    I had an interesting experience after confession.

    Yeah. Probably just old age.

    I had an interesting experience after confession.

    To make a long story short, I went to confession and even though recently I have been fairly regular at confession, I felt like I had to go back many years and discuss certain things with the priest. I would say that I was recently enlightened about certain things and felt the need to confess...

    [Catholics Only] I'm struggling with some stuff and can't stop doubting that I'll be saved

    Just a thought, because I have asked the same questions that you ask. Maybe make yourself trust the magisterium of the Church more than the idle thoughts bouncing around in your head. I recently stopped believing that I need to have a demonstrable "fervor" in order to live as a good Catholic. I...

    [Catholics Only] This is why I ignore secular media regarding anything Church related

    Can Hillary Clinton pardon herself if she were to become president?

    actually you have somewhat changed my mind. I do think asking whether “Hillary could have...” is a waste of time, but it could have been considered a legitimate issue when it was originally put on somebody’s talking points in 2016. And I wish the discussion had been more widespread then, because...
