  • 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

    The Knights of Columbus

    I'm a second degree Knight... I've been a member for about a year now. I enjoy my membership.... the meetings and internal stuff of the Council, I don't really get into... it's mostly older retired guys at the place I go to, so I don't really feel comfortable.... but I have a great time at all...

    The war against AIDS

    This is not a Catholic group, I'm afraid.... my father is an evangelical Protestant minister. He deals mainly with alcohol abuse as a contributing factor... I'm not sure he goes too much into the condom issue.

    Be apart of the Church and Disagree?

    Assent, the way I understand the teaching, means that we must desire to agree..... So, to answer your question, if a Catholic does not completely agree with something, they must understand that it is THEY who are wrong, not the Church... and endevour to seek grace and education to help them...

    Be apart of the Church and Disagree?

    Amen lonnie.... we must always assent to believing Church teachings.... on those things we may disagree with, I pray for the grace to eventually understand them.... .... I never think the Church to be wrong... just I don't understand sometimes why they are right! Get it? Scott

    For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent." I think if you were speeding past a bus with it's lights on or on a street loaded with pedestrians it would be...

    I've done it.... every cop I worked with has done it... don't mean to be rude, but in this particular case I think experience counts more than opinon. Yes it's possible... to maintain the "flow of traffic" means to maintain a safe speed BELOW the speed limit (that's why it's called speed...

    **Ahem**.... as a former police officer, I've got to say that this is false... (in the 4 states I worked in at least)... the speed limit is the speed limit.. period.
