  • 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.

Why are more Catholic women today choosing to wear veils during Mass? What was once seen as a tradition of the past is experiencing a quiet yet noticeable resurgence. Veil makers report growing demand, and veiling is increasingly a subject of discussion in Catholic media.

Some women also see veiling as a way to foster a deeper connection with the Eucharist. The revival of the practice reflects a growing interest in embracing symbolic significance in Catholic worship and upholding the reverence of the liturgy.

Where does this practice come from?​
