  • 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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has responded to Pope Leo XIV’s concerns about President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, proclaiming that “borders are biblical.”

In speaking with reporters Tuesday after a vote on the House floor, Johnson was asked to address Pope Leo XIV’s citation of “Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda."

“Borders and walls are biblical," Johnson, a Southern Baptist, responded. “From the Old Testament to the New, God has allowed us to set up our civil societies and have separate nations.”

“Immigration is not something that’s frowned upon in Scripture,” he added. “We’re to welcome the sojourner and love our neighbor as ourself.”

The speaker continued: “What’s also important in the Bible is that assimilation is expected and anticipated and proper."

How about speaking to Russia's border policy where Russia's own people can't escape their own country?'
North Korea, China and many others.

Why is it we only hear about the leader of the free world when it comes to the Popes?
