  • 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.

What truly happens at the Holy Mass? From St. John Chrysostom to Padre Pio, from St. Gertrude to St. Alphonsus Liguori, the saints saw what most of us only believe by faith: angels surrounding the altar, the Sacred Heart of Jesus burning with love, the Crucified made present anew in the unbloody Sacrifice of the Altar. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that the Holy Mass is the same Sacrifice as Calvary — the same Christ, the same Victim, the same Priest — offered now in mystery for our salvation. The saints who beheld this truth were left in tears, awe, and joy beyond words. Let their vision awaken yours. If you saw what the saints saw at Mass — would you ever live the same way again?
