  • 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.

I have a number of bibles and use an ESV and NCB for reading, ESV is a Catholic edition, NCB is the Catholic Truth Society New Catholic Bible. But I use a NRSV-CE for marking. It's published by Catholic Bible Press and has good print and a sewn binding, so it lays flat when opened.

What do you use?

I mark up the only one I ordinarily use.

Making marks in a Bible just feels wrong to me. If I want to take notes I'll write them out on a separate piece of paper. The exception to that would be if there are extra pages in the front for another use, like filling out your name or a family tree if it's intended to be a family Bible.
