  • 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

Guys, this has been happening quite a bit now, and I’m starting to get really concerned. I’ll fall into mortal sin and head to confession only to find it cancelled or postponed.

I have sinned mortally, and am now at my more reverent and have just learned that the priest isn’t here. I’m going to try see if I can get to confession tomorrow at either parish. It’s really concerning this week considering tomorrow will be the first Friday of the month and after that, the first Saturday, (Especially considering how well my first Friday devotion has been going) I may have to ask to receive Holy Communion after mass, if I con’t receive the Sacrament of Penance before mass. (I’m already considering doing that for the Feast of the Annunciation in honour of Our Lady, as I won’t be to go to mass on Monday, and actually, don’t think of my parish even offer mass on Mondays)

Please pray for me!

Having gone through a similar albeit more "uncanny" situation last week, I just want to say do not be anxious and do not despair. That is the goal of the enemy in situations like these. Praying for you.

(I hope I'm allowed to post this in here in spite of not being Catholic, if not my apologies :/)

Your desire and intent to confess is admirable. I wouldn't worry so much dude. You know you sinned. You now you need confession. You are attempting to get to that confession. Your intent is good brother. Just get to a priest when you can. You will be okay.

As always. I am praying.
