  • 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.

The oldest person in the world, Sister Inah Canabarro Lucas, has died.

In March 2024, Sister Inah told ACI Digitalthat one of the secrets of her longevity is prayer: “I pray the Rosary every day for everyone in the world.”

In January, she became the oldest person in the world, following the death of Japan’s Tomiko Itooka, as confirmed by LongeviQuest, a group of researchers specializing in mapping people who are over 100 years old.
