  • 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.

    What if a conclave elected an Eastern Catholic Cardinal as Pope?

    Yes, I understand that. I realize the distinction. I just thought that they were a little closer to Eastern Catholics in how they do things than the Latin Rite. I talked to some Orthodox who thought that. Overall, Eastern Orthodox needs to submit to Rome and become Catholic. Catholicism is the...
