  • 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

It’s arguable, at least, that there is no more important passage in all of Scripture.

The Institution Narrative — the account of Jesus’ establishment of the Eucharist at the Last Supper — appears in varying forms in three of the four Gospels and one of St. Paul’s letters.

1 Corinthians 11:23-34 is unique, moreover, in all the corpus of St. Paul’s letters. It is the apostle’s only detailed narrative of an event in the life of Jesus Christ; and it includes St. Paul’s most extensive quotations of Jesus’ words.

It’s also arguable, at least, that there is no more important passage in Catholic ritual. The Institution Narrative is the essential centerpiece of the Mass — which is itself the “source and summit of Christian life,” according to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (no. 1324).

It’s no accident that this is so. It is design.

Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 11 29For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. 31Now if we judged ourselves properly, we would not come under judgment.…
