  • 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.

Dear Friends of Francesco,

As most of you have probably heard by now, Fr. Benedict Groeschel was hit by a car on Sunday night in Florida. He is currently in a hospital in Florida where he is receiving treatment for some very serious injuries. We are all hoping and praying for the best and we want to thank all of you who have written and prayed on his behalf. Please keep the prayers coming.

Fr. Glenn Sudano has been providing us with updates regarding Fr. Benedict's condition. You can access the CFR website at http://www.franciscanfriars.com/ to read Fr. Glenn's updates.

Fr. Stan will be briefly interviewed tonight by telephone on EWTN's Life on the Rock regarding Fr. Benedict's condition. The show begins at 8:00 PM EST. Their website address is http://www.ewtn.com/. If you don't receive EWTN by cable, the show can be accessed via the internet.

Here's Fr. Stan's weekly message:

I'm not going to quote Credo's long post -- but would it not be a blessing in every way if Fr. Benedict were healed and the healing were attributed to Cardinal Cooke's intercession, as one of the three miracles he needs for canonization?

Speical prayers are requested throughout the today as he undergoes many proceedures -

From what I read last night, there is a danger of blood clots as he had been on blood thinners for a heart problem . .which contributed greatly to the bleeding he experienced . . when someone is taken off these blood thinners like this, the chance of blood clots, and thus embolisms to the hear, lungs and brain greatly increases, and the chance of this happening is higher than for those who are not on blood thinners . . They are doing proceedures to help keep any blood clots from traveling to vital organs if they do form . . Also, they are going to try to set some broken bones they have not been able to set yet.

May our Lod heal our Fr Groeshel for the good of all His Church. :)

Peace in Him!
