  • 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

There are live streams of daily as well as weekly Mass online as well as Adoration.
We have live streams of of daily Mass I think and two of the Masses on Sunday. We used to have live streams of Saturday evening Mass. We have Adoration once a week but it’s not live streamed.

If there is anyone not already aware of websites with Perpetual Adoration, here is one of them.

When not able to make it to Adoration, an online one can go up on the screen with the screen set to full size. Also adding in some burning candles and a table crucifix to this is helpful....

I do hold the Eucharist of great importance and I kind of resent your implication that maybe I don’t.
BTW, I went to Confession Saturday.

Every Catholic - we all ! myself included - in such days as ours needs to fight internally, personally, against the spiritual dumbing-down that permeates the culture of the "developed" world, and seek to give God His due everywhere, most especially where - I painfully discover - He is due the most: the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass.

But to respond to you personally: You wrote in your post, "I must add this is a repeated sin of mine and I’ve received anyway, which I guess is another sin." Does this mean you repeatedly miss the Sunday obligation, not sure whether this is a grave/mortal sin or not, and habitually do not confess before receiving? If this is true, I strongly suggest in loving concern for you, dear sister, that you give some serious prayer and discernment time to this. I don't know you well, of course, but taking your posted words at face value I must say you are missing much in the Church, much that is powerful and crucial Truth that God wants you to receive into your heart and life. This world is teetering on a precipice and for all of us, it will sooner or later - but soon enough - end. Eternity is next, and now is the time to prepare for it.

I talked to my priest in confession. I’m good.

I figured as much. :) It probably did his heart good that you took it seriously enough to confess. :) I’m sure there are many that don’t.
