  • 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.

On July 25, the sacred exhumation of the casket containing the body of Msgr. Joseph Buh was carried out at Calvary Cemetery. “This is a necessary step for his cause for sainthood,” said Bishop Daniel Felton in a message to clergy and Pastoral Center staff. “All of this was done with significant respect and reverence.”

Msgr. Buh, considered the patriarch of the Diocese of Duluth, was born in 1833 in Slovenia and came to the United States in 1864 as a missionary. He served both Native Americans in the region and immigrants, especially Slovenian immigrants, and when the Diocese of Duluth was formed, he became its vicar general. He is said to have helped incorporate 57 parishes in the diocese.
