  • 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.

With Election Day less than a month and a half away, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are setting their sights on Pennsylvania — a politically divided state that could be the tipping point in the 2024 election.

In pursuit of the state’s 19 electoral votes, both Harris and Trump campaigns are pouring resources into the Keystone State, where polls are showing the race to be in a virtual dead heat. In 2020, Biden won the state by only 81,660 votes, and Trump won it by less than a percentage point in 2016.

In this politically divided state, the race’s outcome could come down to a few swing counties where Biden narrowly edged Trump in 2020 as well as a key demographic: Catholic voters. In 2020, Trump carried the Catholic vote by a 13-point margin, according to a Washington Post exit poll.
