  • 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.

Word on Fire Founder Bishop Robert Barron will attend President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday following an invitation from Rep. Riley Moore of West Virginia.

“Through Word on Fire, Bishop Barron has helped countless souls discover, strengthen, or return to the Catholic Church by proclaiming the Gospel ‘through the culture,’” Moore, who is Catholic, said in a press release shared with CNA on Monday.

Word on Fire is a nonprofit global media apostolate founded to evangelize and educate with an emphasis on contemporary media that produces blogs, podcasts, books, videos, and educational materials.

While he is in Washington for the president’s address, Barron will celebrate Mass for Catholic members of Congress.
