  • 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.

Pascendi Dominici Gregis was written in 1907 by Pope Saint Pius X. Our love for the Church prompts me to write about this encyclical and “eternal Rome”, the Church, the Bride of Christ. The Roman Catholic Church is more than a pilgrim Church which we hear so much about today. It is the Mystical Body of Christ, Who as the Perfect Head, lives in the Church, His Body and which represents a divinely-instituted “perfect society” (Pope Leo XIII Immortale Dei -1885).
