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.
Favourite saint.

Monergism,
Just wanted to clear something up. Origen, while a great theologian and doctor of the Church, is not a Saint as far as I know. He did some very strange things and believed some very strange things (things condemned as heretical at the Fifth Ecumenical Council). I don't think he was ever declared a Saint.
Also...
ooh...ooh...I want to second St. Therese of Lisieux. What a kind and gentle soul. Filled with love for Our Lord.

St. Laura
St. Laura died in 864 a martyr. Born in Cordova, Spain, she became a nun at Cuteclara after she was widowed, and was scalded to death by her Moorish captors. Feast Day Oct. 19.

Oh boy... I have to pick just ONE?!!!?!?
I'll just pick some of my favorite ones and give a brief story on why I feel close to each. If anyone wants me to expound I'll be happy to!
First and foremost on any list of saints is the Blessed Virgin Mary, full of Grace, handmaid of the Lord. Primacy also goes to St.Joseph her most chaste spouse, and John the Baptist. Same for the holy apostles Peter and Paul, and the Twelve.
In order of when I got to know them (give or take... and restraining listto officially canonized saints.)
1) St. Francis of Assisi - if not for him I'd be atheist today
2) St. Anthony of Padua - known for being a miracleworker, but a greatpreacher too
3) St. Lorenzo Ruiz - I'm from the Philippines, and he is our first Filipino saint and martyr
4) St. Bernadette Soubirous- Lourdes. Need I say more?
5) St. Vincent de Paul - helping the poor
6) St. Francis de Sales - when he entered theChablais, it was 1% catholic. three years later it was 1 % Calvinist.
7) St. Martin de Porres - he's a healer and herbalist - so am I.
8) Padre Pio - "pray, hope and don't worry"
9) St. Augustine - need I say more?
10) st. Thomas Aquinas- this man was AMAZING. what an intellect.
honorable mention: St Maximillian Kolbe, St. Albert the Great, St. Claire of Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Peter of Verona, St. Ignatius of Antioch,St. justin the martyr,St. Athanasius, St. Irenaeus of Lyons, St. Jerome...

No, Origen was never declared saint, and neither was Tertullian. Tertullian actually broke away from the Church and St. Augustine had to reconvert his followers centuries later. That is not to take anything away from their standing as FATHERS of the CHURCH.

New_Found_Faith said:St. Padre Pio is one of my new favorites. Very cool guy.
Not to mention quite contemporary. I mean the guy isn't even dead for 50 years! (died 1968)

For all we know he never had to go through it, given how much he suffered in this life.

My favorite saint is Saint Therese. I have her chaplet and also her sacrifice beads. I find so much answered prayer through her intercession.
Of course the Blessed Mother as well.
