  • 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.

    With 3 other Catholic forums for specific purposes, what is OBOB's purpose now?

    I thought if you have the threads, you just go through and see what you want to post in and what you don't want to post in. I don't understand why we need all these forms.

    Now we need a new Catholic Forum for Catholics like me!

    I think it's a good idea for people to exchange ideas and explain it out. This is how good ideas are spread and sometimes bad ones. I don't think we need a lot of different forums. If you see a thread we are not interested in, we just won't participate.

    For fun: Misheard, misunderstood lyrics and other stuff

    When I was a little girl growing up in Kansas, I had and still have hearing loss. My family liked to watch the OKlahoma Sooners football, so when I was learning the Hail Mary, I started out saying Pray for us Sooners, now and at the hour of our death.

    What Do You Think of the Catholic Teaching about Mary?

    I just finished a study on Mary and it was quite interesting. I never though about the line in Luke 1:43 where Elizabeth says, whence is it to me that the mother of my Lord should come to visit me. Here's what I didn't pay attention to in that line. 1st, it was pointed out that she was filled...

    Is Confession to Elders Necessary for Forgiveness?

    The way it was explained to me is that the Priest is not actually doing the forgiving, that's why he says at the end of a confession, Your sins are forgiven in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It's God who is doing the forgiving through the Priest. God works through people. God...

    Prayers for my son please.

    My son is addicted to crack cocaine and his job said they will hold his job if he completes a rehab program and comes back clean. He hasn't checked in anywhere yet and I am praying that he gets checked in somewhere before he runs out of money and commits a crime to buy crack. I have handed him...

    The demonic house in Gary Indiana was demolished after documentary

    I don't know if I agree with this, but I have heard that we shouldn't watch things like this because it could be a way to get the attention of a bad spirit. I like watching shows like that, but I'm trying not to anymore.

    Hmmm, interesting argument for evolution that I haven't seen before.

    God probably used much of the same material in all the living creatures and he made different varieties of things. If evolution happened at all, it was at the hand of God. In other words God built the world and everything in by building on what he already made. When I look at the math...

    I think I was demonically attacked last night

    The best thing to do is just say "I offer up all of my suffering for the conversion of sinners". If you say this two or three times demons hate it and leave immediately.

    Am I a bee, or a fly?

    That was useful. I liked the analogy and I try very hard to be a bee. Sometimes, it's hard not to be a fly, but we have to work at it.

    Anxiety!

    When I have these attacks, I feel they are of the devil. It happens mostly when I am trying to go to sleep and I truly am in a panic state. What has finally helped me is to say over and over again. Part of the Divine Mercy Chaplet. For the Sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and...

    Hypothyroidism: What Now?

    Talk to your doctor before taking iodine. Sometimes it can cause more problems for the thyroid, especially if you are suffering from Auto immune thyroid issues. At least this is what my doctor told me.

    [Moved]3 active shooters with rifles, masks, and bullet proof vests in San Bernardino, CA

    Gun Control will never work. If a person really wants to use a gun, all the materials are at any local hardware store and can be made.
