• 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.

“Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (Gospel According to Saint John 8:31-32.)
That magnificent promise, first voiced by Our Lord, is emblazoned on the Dominican Republic’s flag. In fact, while many nations’ flags bear Christian symbols—most notably crosses—the Dominican Republic’s flag is the only one in the world with a picture of the Bible and a printed scriptural quotation.

On July 31, 2025, the Dominican Congress lived up to those words, blocking a law that would have allowed abortion for the first time in the nation’s history. The vote, 159 to 4, wasn’t even close. The bill was then sent to President Luis Abinander, who signed it on August 3.
