• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

That’s pretty sad. :(
We probably learned more than that but still not much as far as Catachism goes, but it didn’t stick with me. I don’t know what my churches school teaches now.

Oh, that’s ok.

i think that when I first started posting here, as a former Catholic, turned Lutheran/Non Denominational, contemplating returning to Catholicism, you thought I was here to start trouble.
Actually…I didn’t. But I was going through my own issues at the time. My true impression was that you were too gullible concerning the the worst possible scenarios concerning the Faith. Add to that, we have our regular anti-Catholic trolls pretending to ask sincere questions…. I guess I was just tired. As a convert, it takes a lot of guts to cross the Tiber. I was an ex-Protestant from a southern family where anything Catholic was pretty much heretical. I was more than on the defensive. I truly apologize for giving you such a horrible impression. It’s really hard at times to let go and let God. But I do find you a truly valuable member of OBOB if that makes any difference. :) :praying:

I’ve seen some of the Catholic trolls here too and just sometimes want to scream, “you’re so full of…..baloney”.

What gets me is why not go to the source? The actual teachings? It crazy!
