  • 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.

    Why do you think Yeshua was the Messiah?

    Can you please share why you came to that conclusion? Also, if anyone knows of a site that compares opinions of Jews and Messianic Jews re: Messianic prophesies, etc. please share it. :)

    So sorry I haven't touched base with you all sooner. I haven't made it to Mass yet as I've had a sick child home from school the past couple days. We'll go tomorrow evening if all goes well. Thanks for caring. :)

    Going to Mass tomorrow. Need a little advice.

    Another question....is there normally a singing of hymns at every Mass? I went to Mass a handful of times as a child, but for some reason I can only remember one song. 1000 blessings from my regular handle for whoever can guess which song that is. :D

    Going to Mass tomorrow. Need a little advice.

    Thanks for the tips. If I go up for a blessing, do I bow my head in addition to crossing my arms? What exatly happens when one is blessed? I'm worried I may not know when the Priest is done. ^_^

    Going to Mass tomorrow. Need a little advice.

    1. As a non Catholic, should I genuflect before entering the pew? 2. What about crossing myself? Is that for Catholics only? 3. I know I can't accept Communion. After it's done, should I stay seated, or kneel like everyone else? 4. During the.....I think it's called the...

All of a sudden I'd be driving an unfamiliar route, and come across a Catholic church I'd never seen before. Or...
