  • 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.

Hunter Biden opened up about his struggles with addiction and the difference between guilt and shame in handling the consequences of sin during a two-hour interview with podcaster Candace Owens that aired Thursday.

"I've heard you call me a crackhead many times, and the truth of it is I was a crackhead," the second son of former President Joe Biden told Owens, who apologized for repeatedly attacking both him and his father over the years.

Noting both he and Owens are Roman Catholic, Biden appealed to theological concepts to explain that people struggling with addiction — which he noted is approximately 30 million Americans — should avoid the isolating effects of shame and realize they are not alone.
