  • 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.

I have a black and grey rosary that puts off a metallic smell on my fingers when I use it. Not sure what kind of material it is, my priest gave it to me a few weeks ago.... I was wondering if you guys know of a way to clean it and get the smell to go away? It makes praying with it very distracting. Any help? I heard of possibly soaking it in vinegar but wasn't sure if this was right for it. Here is a picture of it:

Well soft metal will leave an odor at times as will the beads. If I were you, I'd just soak it in peroxide for a few minutes and see if that helps.

Will do, thanks!
