  • 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

    conversion questions

    I'm still confused on this issue. Sister told us differently but I can't find anything to back up what she said. After the holiday break, I'll ask her and try to find out where she found that the Church teaches John's Immaculate Conception. I also prefer a confessional and not the face to...

    Tent camping in FL, AL, or GA?

    There are some lovely camping areas in the State of Florida. I'm not a camper because I don't like bugs, snakes or creepy, crawling yucky things.

    Are Northerners just different?
