  • 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.

I remember a time when my mother said "your father is outside cutting the grass.". That was all it took.

She didn't have to specifically ask me to do anything.

I went outside and helped him.

I confess that I had never heard of Charlie Kirk prior to his death and even now do not know much about him. What I find curious and perplexing regarding the life and death of Mr. Kirk is that he is being marketed by the Far Right as a martyr not only of political freedom of speech but of (Protestant) Christianity. From what I know, he was, assuredly, a Catholic Christian who made lengthy speeches supporting the Far Right political narrative which is tinged with elements of Christianity. That he was a martyr of any sort is open to debate and I would be quite dumbfounded if he were to be declared a Catholic saint.
Theres quite a few clips of Kirk saying why he will not be a Catholic and Maryology was one. He even debated Michael Knowles on it.

Heres a clip of kirk saying he cant be catholic and the rest of his views on Mary.

You can stop watching after the clip of Charlie speaking I just wanted to post a link to show what he said on the topic himself.

Not according to the bible account. She just told Him what the situation was, saying, "They have no wine." No request that He do anything.
I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I have no problem venerating her and asking for her constant prayers.

God bless
