  • 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

Come Holy Spirit...

+In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen! +

1 And the third day, there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee: and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus also was invited, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine.
4 And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? my hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith to the waiters: Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye.
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three measures apiece.
7 Jesus saith to them: Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And Jesus saith to them: Draw out now, and carry to the chief steward of the feast. And they carried it.
9 And when the chief steward had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whence it was, but the waiters knew who had drawn the water; the chief steward calleth the bridegroom,
10 And saith to him: Every man at first setteth forth good wine, and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee; and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capharnaum, he and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days.

We're coming down to the end Australian Plebiscite, which determine whether or not Holy Matrimony can be subject to power of the state, and whether or not the state can fabricate unnatural unions. I have been holding a rosary crusade, (see here: Rosary Crusade for Australian Plebiscite) asking Our Lady to withhold her Son's hand from angrily handing Australians over to the gay delusion, and I trust in Our Lady's intercession. However I would still like to call on my fellow-Catholics to offer-up their last-minute prayers that Australia may be spared and Our Lady may receive another victory!

Ave Maria!

And of course today of all days, I have a lot of chores to do, I'll try and get some prayers in, in-between my various texts.

Domine exaudi orationem meam:
Et clamor meus ad Te veniat!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but, in thy mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen.

Iesu confido Tibi!

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

I'm going to go adore God through that livestream Adoration. I'll be back later, keep praying everyone!

It's really depressing same-sex couples getting married is such a problem for so many people.

Call them unnatural and delusional if you(collective) must; but they're not the one with massive hang-ups on other people's love lives/relationships which should be none of your business.

Religion or no, how can it be right to draw pleasure from preventing people you've never met, from enjoying the same state privileges you do?

Because they are probably suffering the same kind of pain I suffered, when I was enslaved to my sexual perversion.

To me, as a Catholic Christian, it is not any of my business telling consenting adults what rights they should or should not have as far as who they (love/gender). If I do not want interference in my faith then why do we interfere in the rights of others in the secular world? I have always struggled with this. Scripture is clear that who are we to judge those outside the Church? We are to judge those within it. So obviously, I do not understand the aspect of trying to say what people (consenting adults) do outside of it. Of course we can voice our reasons for believing as we do but other than that, seems outside our realm. Isn't social justice just that? Or does it depend on a set faith based belief system?

I can't get it to download. What is it?
It's Youtube video on a Homily of the Traditional Catholic view of the role of government, it addresses specifically same-sex, but more it addresses more broadly, the purpose of government and statehood. The purpose of government should be to provide what is best people, not primarily what will make them happy but rather, what is best for them as human beings.

I have loosened up on fasting a bit now that the Plebiscite deadline has passed, I'm going go back to normal just yet, for now I'm just going to have small meals and no desert. (Albeit, I did have desert tonight due to the fact it's my brother's birthday today.)
