  • 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.

King Charles has said he and Queen Camilla have "heavy hearts" after Pope Francis's death, as they paid tribute to his "compassion" and "tireless commitment" to people of faith.

In a statement, the King said that though "deeply saddened", their sorrow had been "somewhat eased" by the Pope being able to share an Easter greeting with the world on Sunday, before he died aged 88.

The King and Camilla met the pontiff on a state visit to Italy earlier this month, which the couple said they remembered with "particular affection".

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the leader of Catholics in England and Wales, echoed the King's comments, saying the Pope's death "brings great sadness to so many".
