  • 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.

*** YOU ARE IN THE CATHOLIC FORUM ***
*** Please act accordingly ***

A day of reparation for the recent Pachamama incident in the Vatican. Do what you can to fast, or to abstain from some good thing for the day, some sacrifices, some alms, and to pray. Pray with the intention that damage done by that abomination in the Vatican may be repaired.

Why St. Nicholas Day? Because of his firmness at the council of Nicea. You see St, Nicholas was a real person, a person who stood for orthodoxy, firmly opposed to the Arians. Pray for his intercession in standing firm for the Trinity with no new gods or goddesses to be added. For Friday, do works of repair through prayer. Pray for the pope, for the cardinals, bishops, priests, and the laity.

Let me know how you end up celebrating the day. I'm still going to be giving a few gifts, cutting my meals short, and spending some time in the morning at adoration.

Had bread crumbs for dinner the night before. Black coffee this morning. No extra food when I get home. That's all I can do, but did try. Thank you, Chevy.

I had to eat, but I kept it short. peanut butter and a banana for breakfast, cottage cheese and prunes for lunch, cheese and two small oranges for dinner. I went and spent an hour at prayer in our adoration chapel. That was a good hour. Went and bought a new glucose meter and then to work.

I think we are beginning a process of reparation and of realizing that there is a real spiritual war going on for the future of the Church.

I think so too, and I think it's very likely that it could end up coinciding with a temporal war as well.

Keep praying, guys. Even those of us outside of the Church can see how horrible this is, and we are with you.

The real Catholic Church belongs to Saint Francis, Teresa of Avila, Padre Pio, the Cure d'Ars, Maria Goretti, and the Church Fathers. And to you guys.
