  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

EAGAN, Minn. (OSV News) — Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis opened a recent Healthcare Leadership Summit at St. John Neumann in Eagan with a prayerful call to preserve the heritage of Catholic health care in the face of strong headwinds.

It was a call to dialogue and collaboration in caring for body and soul at a time when the dignity and value of human life at many stages and in many forms is being debated.

Hosted by the Minnesota Catholic Conference and the Minnesota chapter of the Catholic Health Association, the Sept. 18 event drew many health care professionals. Keynote speaker Dr. Kristin Collier, associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Michigan, and six panelists in three panel sessions discussed abortion, assisted suicide and other topics.
