• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

He probably had more to go on than that the parish didn't have a national identifier that you could remember. There are some very real and very clear markers for those groups - that's not one of them.

Yes, here in Greece, only Orthodox may receive antidoron, and may consume it only if they haven't eaten anything beforehand.

Yes my wise friend, you must be correct. Please forgive my foolishness and audacity of asking for further information.

At Holy Trinity they have a sweet gentleman that as soon as he venerates the Cross he heads for the basket of antidoran and meets everyone as they leave the sanctuary offering them bread.

He told me it was a tradition from when the christians were still persecuted, jailed and killed that after the eucharist had been given to the members, they woudl take the leftover bread to teh poor who had no bread, in order to share the message of Christ...

When I visited St Mary's of Egypt, one of the Sisters brought me bread...very sweet and kind lady...she nursed me through my 2nd DL and kept pointing me between the bulletin and the book so I could keep up

Yup At least that's the way I always did it in the 3 parishes (OCA) I attended while I was a catechumen. Maybe it's different in other parishes.
