  • 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.

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) urged the faithful to commit to “building together a society that honors the human dignity of all who labor” in a statement published ahead of Labor Day.

“We believe in the dignity of work precisely because each of our brothers and sisters is a beloved child of God, made in his own image and likeness, and imbued with inherent dignity,” the statement read.

The message was signed by Archbishop Borys Gudziak, who heads the USCCB’s Committee on Domestic Justice and Human Development, as well as Bishop Mark J. Seitz, who heads the bishops’ migration committee.
