• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Thank you! Is crossing your arms over your chest a way to show you don’t belong to the church ?

No, rather a sign that you aren't able to receive the Eucharist (mortal sin, different denomination, personal reasons) so the priest knows to just bless you.

I'm not sure if your baptism is valid in the catholic faith (I think it is?) If you wish to learn more i think it would be appropriate to call your local catholic priest about this as I might be imperfectlt conveying this.:confused:

Thank you for praying and for the advice! I actually can’t go to mass or confession because I am not Catholic (I don’t know WHAT I am right now but I’ve been researching Catholicism). My parents are Baptists. I want to go to a Catholic Church service but I don’t think my parents would want to go to one. Are there any online? Is that a dumb question?
I like to go to YouTube to watch churches of all different kinds. Sometimes you can catch them live.

Here is the Catholic Mass for today, January 7th, from EWTN:

Edit: looks like they take down the Daily Mass the next day. But here's the channel link:

This morning I was completely happy and eager to talk about what Jesus had done in my life to save me from Satan… and then Satan came back! Or a demon or something! I’ll post the whole story but I’m going ahead and posting this so that I can ask people to pray as soon as possible!
Prayed for you!

Just prayed for you around the themes you have posted and more generally. God bless
