  • 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.

Oh my gosh, what this priest said.

I found a very fascinating that that this priest on YouTube said about souls in purgatory, and he said something that had been crossing MY mind for AGES.

Granted, priests are not always going to say the correct things but when he said this, I was floored. He said that souls in purgatory can/may be released when the hurt/problems that they may have caused the next generation (through sin) are resolved, and when they see that the "cycle has been broken."

(this could mean, though, that if the problems are not resolved or the cycle is not broken, that they stay where they're at. he was also talking about praying for them, but it was MORE than that)

I'm not saying everyone has to agree but I have felt this even before I heard this priest say this.

(I don't want to give a link because his political talking points can be contentious)

Who is the priest? I’d like to check it out.
I'll send you a PM before I sleep, lol. I have to make a couple threads before I go out. I don't know how to prioritize :|
