  • 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.

Catholic Rep. Pat Fallon was one of the members of the House Oversight Committee who called on Kimberly Cheatle to resign, because of the Secret Service failures that nearly resulted in Donald Trump’s assassination.

WASHINGTON — Catholic Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, had never had any long-gun training in his life. He owns an AR-15 but until recently had only ever shot it once six years ago.

Following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, Fallon and his team recreated the scene in Savoy, Texas. He lay on a sloped roof 130 yards from the paper target at 6:30 at night, mirroring closely the scenario in Butler. He took eight shots with two distinct types of scopes.

The result was 15 out of 16 kill shots. The one he missed? It hit the target’s ear.

“That’s a 94% success rate,” he said at the House Oversight Committee meeting Monday morning. “And that shooter was a better shot than me.”
