  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Happy New Year my friends!

Happy New Year my friends! I wish I was more active on here than I am but it is what it is. I'm sure the pendulum will swing back soon. I pray your 2026 sees an increase in God's gifts of grace and faith. Who knows what lies ahead but I pray that 2026 marks the beginning of a great age of the Church.

Rather than discussion resolutions and the like, does anyone on here have any plans for 2026? Like taking a pilgrimage, getting married, entering seminary or getting ordained, moving somewhere new, retiring from a career, etc?

Happy New Year Gnarwhal and all members of OBOB!

I plan on making a pilgrimage to EWTN and the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

I know you didn't want resolutions but Dr. Scott Hahn posted this on Facebook that can be a nice guide...
