  • 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.

The visit will mark the first meeting between King Charles and Pope Leo XIV.

For the first time since the Protestant Reformation, a reigning British monarch and a pope will pray together publicly during a royal state visit to the Vatican.

King Charles III will join in ecumenical prayer presided over by Pope Leo XIV for the care of creation inside the Sistine Chapel on Oct. 23, beneath Michelangelo’s frescoed ceiling, during the king’s first state visit to the Vatican with Queen Camila.

The Sistine Chapel Choir will sing together with England’s Choir of St. George‘s Chapel and the Choir of His Majesty’s Chapel Royal for the historic ecumenical prayer which will focus on praising God the Creator, Vatican officials said.

Stephen Cottrell, the Anglican Archbishop of York, will also participate.

The visit will mark the first meeting between King Charles and Pope Leo XIV. The two will first meet privately in the Apostolic Palace in the morning and will later be joined by business leaders in the palace’s Sala Regia for a discussion on care for creation and environmental sustainability.

Way back when I was still Presbyterian, the pastor thought Russia would revert to Orthodoxy which has since happened. I think when he said that it was not long before the Berlin wall came down.

He'd been half expecting something to happen. He said he had a book by an American author who predicted, at the time of writing, that the Soviet Union would collapse in about ten years, and it did. And of course the Russian Orthodox Church has reasserted it's main religious role despite being badly persecuted during the Soviet years.

He also thought Britain would revert to Catholicism as the main religion. What will happen to those Anglicans who won't go along with it I don't know, but I think they'll just fade away as a movement.

When the Pope and Charles III pray together, I see some support for his prediction.
