  • 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.

Father James Martin, Society of Jesus, is at it again.

Martin, the Jesuit priest who has spent his entire life advocating for left-wing causes, is all over social media preaching that Jesus, Mary, and Joseph were refugees and therefore, good Christians should oppose President Trump’s efforts to stop illegal immigration into the United States.

What Father Martin does not wrestle with is the concept of evil. Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela, murdered a young woman named Laken Riley during a 20-minute struggle. Ibarra was convicted on a total of 10 charges, including murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, aggravated assault with intent to rape, and tampering with evidence.

Jose Ibarra is evil.

I don’t expect Father Martin ever to acknowledge that Ibarra is evil, not to mention the drug dealers and girl traffickers who poured over our border in the Biden years, because Father Martin can’t even acknowledge that pedophilia is evil. In 2019, retired Pope Benedict came out with an article about the sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church. “When thinking about what action is required first and foremost,” Pope Benedict wrote, “it is rather obvious that we do not need another church of our own design. Rather, what is required first and foremost is the renewal of the faith in the reality of Jesus Christ given to us in the Blessed Sacrament.”
