  • 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.

As Pride Month Ends, Children Are Again the Main Victims

Will Church leaders and the Catholic faithful remain silent in the face of these and other grave sins of our time?

Pride Month ends today, and although it seems its popularity is waning, children have again been the principal victims — and in some cases even the explicit target.

Cities around the world have staged LGBTQ parades, promoting an agenda that revolves around not only sexual depravity but also child genital mutilation.

But instead of being classed as a vulnerable group warranting protection from such evil insanity, children worldwide have been welcomed to such events while in their daily lives they are exposed to the depravity, even in schools where they face indoctrination.

At a parade in New York, drag queen marchers chanted, “We’re coming for your children” — a chant LGBTQ activists said has been used for years but insisted was taken out of context, according to a report in the New York Post.

Meanwhile, Catholic Church leaders, with very few notable exceptions, were silent about Pride Month throughout the month of June, and in some cases actively participated in what’s become akin to an annual “liturgical” celebration in the secular world.

“Pride Masses” took place in some U.S. cities such as Washington, D.C., though some bishops, notably including Bishop David Zubik of Pittsburgh, disavowed such a Eucharistic service in his diocese, leading to its cancellation.

Continued below.

Today was my last day open.

Was having a convo with a regular customer.
She is conservative Christian and she said someone in a parade stated 'we're coming for your children' and so anyway a woman in my store who purchased rainbow sandals didn't say anything to me; but when the customer came up front she let loose...

'Nobody in the LGBQT world is coming for the children, it's the heterosexual, Christian white man whose doing that.'
..and stormed off.

Pride Month ends today,
Did it really end yesterday?
Is it really over?
Would be nice.

But recently, Rachel Levine declared this is the "Summer of Pride" ... so, I'm not sure if it's over yet.

Ok so evidently the new person on the block could be the same person I met today? or like the 5th or so people I met who are in this group and I found their posts problematic and very telling and I didn’t post the worse ones.

This is a small community and I think we need to step up prayer.

And again I find it ironic how they attack conservatives for their own beliefs. Smh

Her sin is pride. I'm sorry that happened in your store. :(

Pray for the conversion of LGBT individuals that they may be brought to the light of the gospel.
