  • 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

My dearest Jeff:

Christ is in our midst!

I took the Catholic IQ posted at Concerned Catholics listed in your post above and scored excellently.

However, they made a big mistake.

They said that lying is not a mortal sin. That's not always true. Remember the sin that Ananias and Sapphira committed (mentioned in Acts)? Since they lied to St. Peter, they lied to the Church. And since they lied to the Church, they lied to the Holy Spirit.
Bingo - they were struck dead by God.

Now I'd have to say that that was a deadly sin they committed, wouldn't you?

P.S. I try to sincerely avoid all sins, because sins seriously offend God, who is perfect love and the Lover of Mankind.

Lying is grave but the condition have to be present for it to be mortal, I am surprised that they think it is not grave.
