  • 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

When U.S. Olympian Britta Curl-Salemme shared an Instagram videoshowing a Sunday in her life, it brought together scenes from what she called “game day and the Lord's day,” including her morning routine, attendance at a Latin Mass with her husband, time reading Scripture, and game footage from a win by the Minnesota Frost.

Her caption quoted Mark 10:45 — “For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve” — a verse she has said is her favorite.

Curl-Salemme is a forward for the U.S. Women's National Ice Hockey Team and for the Frost in the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL). As the U.S. prepared for the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, the 25-year-old North Dakota native was entering her Olympic debut season.

Over the past year, Curl-Salemme has used social media to share elements of her Catholic faith with followers more and more frequently, alongside updates from her professional hockey career. In one post, she shared masstimes.org as a resource for finding nearby parishes while traveling for games.

“Gotta go to Mass — it’s even more important than your morning carbs,” she said.

Other posts have offered brief glimpses of devotional life away from the rink. Curl-Salemme has shared that she is following Ascension’s “Bible in a Year” reading plan and has shared clips of her husband praying the Rosary at home.
