  • 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.

    Synod on Synodality questionaire finally finished

    Catholics only please. It was a struggle because I suspect it was a futile thing to even bother to fill out. But then I thought that if I self-censor and don't fill it out my voice is certainly lost. If I do fill it out my voice may be lost or maybe not. So I did it. I got it in ahead of the...

    Catholic prayer question: Why are your prayers often repeated over and over?

    As a non-denominational Christian I have noticed this in the past. Whatever the prayer is, its often repeated many, many times. I'm just not understanding why this is done. Why not just pray whatever is on your heart after saying whatever Catholic prayer best represents your feelings or needs?

    I have decided that I want to convert to Christianity

    Hello, I'm still young but I have been seeking for a religion almost my entire life. Until I was probably 11 or 12 I was a hardcore bonafide fedora-wearing Atheist.

    Satan never sleeps

    - Satan is alive, and he's very clever. He is a perfected deceiver. He is the "father of lies", and is the trainer of religious pretense, that sounds legit, because it speaks advanced "christianese". For example...> Satan has had more time with the Greek and the rest of the bible versions...

    Hi. I have always been an overthinker when it comes to sin, but lately it seems that I’ve become scrupulous.
