  • 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.

May be prudent. She'll win NY easily. I remember seeing one when Obama was running. Making a joke about Trump's vicious birther campaign, Obama compared himself to Simba being lifted to the heavens by Mufasa. Everyone laughed--laughter being a good antidote to racist lies.
Except for the Cardinal at the time. He was seething at what he thought was sacrilege--not the attempt by the victim of racist hatred and lies to defuse the situation with laughter.
On that occasion, at least, the dinner was not Democrat-friendly.

She will win NY easily, but I am not sure it will be as easy as it has been in the past.

PHOENIX (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris will skip this year’s Al Smith charity dinner in New York, breaking with presidential tradition so she can campaign instead in a battleground state less than three weeks before Election Day.

Continued below.
I remember the 2016 dinner with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. Trump's comments about Clinton were not appropriate for the occasion. Cardinal Dolan did not seem thrilled with the comments. Trump did better at the 2020 virtual dinner but I can see why Harris would not mind skipping it.
