  • 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.

Hello,

First post here. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in. I was just trying to get some advice on a birthday gift to get, and I wanted to get something Catholic related. This site didn't have a store associated with it (I think), so I didn't feel pressure about asking questions here.

So I did some looking around found a lot of sites with books, movies, CDs, art, statues, jewelry, etc. I'm not to sure that I should get a book, movie, or CD because everyone's tastes can vary so much on them. Art and statues seemed to be too expensive for me right now, so I was leaning towards jewelry - unless anyone has other good suggestions. How do you guys feel about the patron saint medals? That seemed like a good idea. I also came across these: ourcatholicstore.net/Store/catalog/Catholic-Jewelry,112.aspx that seemed to jump out at me. Do you guys think a new cross or crucifix necklace would be a good gift to receive from someone (sterling silver or gold filled, not the 14 karat)? Or does anyone have any other advice of good gifts they have received?

Thanks
