  • 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.

39% of priests in the United States ordained after the year 2000 consider access to the Traditional Latin Mass a priority -- 1in 4, compared with just 11%, or 1 in 10, for priests ordained before 1980.


The numbers come from this study ("Morale, Leadership, and Pastoral Priorities: Highlights from the 2025 National Study of Catholic Priests"), published today by The Catholic Project of the Catholic University of America (CUA).

It is quite astonishing, and a clear trend. Woe to the bishops who ignore them.
