  • 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.

“He reaches up to grab it — and as he does, his hand is literally thrown off. And he screams..."​


Whoa! This is incredible!

In a viral reel published by Parousia Media, Father Chris Alar of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception tells an amazing story of his experience while leading a Eucharistic procession on an Indian reservation in Canada.

Father Alar says he visited the Cree Indians in Canada and decided to process through the reservation with the Eucharist. He said he processed through all the roads, blessing about 1200 homes.

As he held the monstrance, Father Alar says the Indian reservation’s ringleader yelled at him, demanding he remove the Eucharist from the reservation.

The ringleader screamed, “Get that [blank, blank] out of here!” multiple times.

Father Alar says he “keeps on walking” with the monstrance and affirms he will not let go of the Eucharist.

After his third demand, the ringleader approached Father Alar and attempted to grab the monstrance. The ringleader then grabbed the monstrance, but immediately let it go because it burned his hands.
