  • 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

    [open]The New Walk-in Freezer at Reilly's Pub

    Ouch. It may be her way of dealing with the grief though. I'm not saying that what she she's doing is right, but that she's probably hurting a lot too. And she may be using men in an attempt to numb it.

    Nuptial Tridentine Mass?

    My friend is getting married in a Tridentine parish this June. I'd be happy to relay any questions to her. :-) "Plight thee my troth." It sounds so elegant and Shakespearean! My grandmother told me that if your betrothed was Protestant, you weren't allowed to get married in the church. You...

    Who here reads Christian fiction?

    I'm reading A Man for All Seasons right now, does that count? It's the story of St. Thomas More, and it's a play. But so far it's excellent. And I've got some Flannery O'Connor lined up for when I've finished. I have read the "Love Comes Softly" series by Janette Oake. Nice girly historical...

    I had a dream - Catholic ladies with rosaries around their hands praying

    Oh please. Then explain Joseph's interpreting Pharoah's dreams, Joseph of Nazareth being told to marry Mary and warned to flee Galilee in a dream, & from the prophet Joel: "Your old men shall see visions, your young men shall dream dreams." And then there's all the mystics throughout church...

    Republicans trying to stop abortions

    Where are you finding that statistic Maynard? I thought it was more than that. If this passes, I'd like to see how or even if it's going to be enforced. But regardless, I will be praying for this victory.

    Cheer Me Up

    Bear In There by Shel Silverstein There's a Polar Bear In our Frigidaire-- He likes it 'cause it's cold in there. With his seat in the meat And his face in the fish And his big hairy paws In the buttery dish, He's nibbling the noodles, He's munching the rice, He's slurping the...

    Pants? Really?

    Are men really led to temptation by ladies with their hair down? Tops that expose the collarbone? Pants (even if they aren't tight)? :help: I don't want to be an occasion of sin for anyone, but never have I heard these things mentioned in regard to modesty before. Thoughts?
