• 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.

  • 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

I’m so old that I remember when it was a big no no for a married couple to sleep in the same bed on tv and now we have men canoodling with other men in commercials.
Such as in I Love Lucy? (I'm not saying you are that old)

They couldn't even be shown in the same bed, nor could they use the world "pregnant" on TV.

It was "expecting" instead.

I saw it and of course there are plenty of Cardinal shenanigans.

But I think the main character is portrayed as honest, well intentioned and honorable. So is the elected pope. I would be honored to know such men if they really existed. A sister is an important character. She also speaks well for sisters. So I would say it is mixed. But the main theme has to do with tradition v. the future. Maybe that is why traditionalists think it anti-Catholic. Heck, I recommend it. It was entertaining.
