  • 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

    Vatican nixes use of ‘Co-Redemptrix,’ ‘Mediatrix’ as titles for Mary

    I didn't mean to imply that the theology was rejected, I meant that it is and was sound theology.

    Vatican nixes use of ‘Co-Redemptrix,’ ‘Mediatrix’ as titles for Mary

    This is good, IMO. It will certainly be one less thing to debate with Protestants about. While the underlying theology was sound, the effort to debate and explain it caused major issues.

    Sabotage? Leavitt demands answers to UN escalator malfunction with Trumps: ‘What it appears to be to me’

    Your point doesn't make any sense being as all of the nations broadly viewed as "authoritarian" are also UN members, and two of the ones that you mention are also permanent members of the security council. Laughably the current security council also includes such bastions of democracy as...

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    It wouldn't be the first time Italians sided with the wrong side when it comes to Jews.

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    Give me a break, you know what I meant. Geeze Louise, get off of your high horse and touch grass. Obviously we are not going to agree, so you can stop beating that drum.

    A conversation about unity.

    That's a very valid point, many of the Evangelical churches here have a cycle of boom and bust depending on the decade due to the preacher, some imploding entirely when their main pastor dies or retires. The current church that I attend (former UMC, now independent) other than the RCC has had...

    French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state (UK, Canada, Straya too)

    Being a Christian doesn't necessarily make one on the "right" side. There have been many misinformed or otherwise incorrect people that are Christians. I am often one of them, depending on the subject, we all are.

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    I said that I don't care about the exact numbers, not that I don't care about humans. Your insinuation is that the Jews are responsible, mine is that the Arabs themselves are responsible and that the Israelis are just reacting to a necessary reality. The abortion comparison is a red herring.

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    To be honest I don't care about the exact numbers, the Palestinians could have had peace in 1948 if they had actually wanted peace. They have chosen strife and terrorism since then and have never upheld any peace agreement. Nothing short of the expulsion of the Jews and the entire land will be a...

    French President Macron says France will recognize Palestine as a state (UK, Canada, Straya too)

    I consider it a partially recognized, partially self governing pariah. It isn't a country, it's a terrorist enclave. Every time they are given a chance at democracy they choose to go the path of pariah and launch pad for attacks on Israel. They have instituted rebellion and strife in any country...

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    It is always as a personal capacity unless preceded by "ADMIN HAT" or "MOD HAT" It may ignore more recent propaganda from the Arabs, but it accurately looks further back. LOL, I have seen that website and dismissed it roundly based on personal observation, experience, and the fact that it is...

    The two state solution died October 7th, these nonsense recognitions don't change the reality of the situation.

    Israel-Hamas Thread II

    The reality of the situation indicates this is a laughable statement. The people of Gaza and Hamas have shown that they cannot be trusted and won't lay down their arms. Israel killed around 25K Hamas members since October 7th and Hamas has recruited that number back. The people of Gaza are the...

    Yeah, I did that too when I was a teenager and my family went to mass for the baptism of my niece, I didn't know and nobody informed me.
