• 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

I am Xeno,
But I am not really "of Athens".
However, I like the name Athens, so I decided to be Xeno.of.Athens!

I use Catholic bibles, right now I am using the ESV Catholic Edition.

Hello there, welcome! Personally I use numerous translations but was weaned on the KJV. I am really interested in the Greek and Hebrew of the Bible so I utilize Greek and Hebrew interlinears and lexicons in almost all my devotions.

Are you Catholic? Do you like the Douay Rheims translation of the Latin Vulgate? I do but I am not Catholic.

I do use the Douay Rheims bible because it's good. I also use several modern Catholic bibles.

I speak and read English and the Douay Rheims is an English translation.
Of the Latin. Unless we speak and read Latin we would not know if the Douay Rheims is good or not.

I can read Latin when I have a lexicon handy to help with vocabulary.

Today I watched The Shoes of The Fisherman, a 1968 movie about electing a USSR pope - in those days there was a USSR, now it is Russia and a number of independent countries.

In the movie Anthony Quinn is elected pope, he's from Ukraine but is called "Russian" a few times; today that would be an unforgivable faux pas.

In the Movie the Chairman of the Polit Bureau (USSR government leader) sent the new pope a message with a gift. The gift was Ukrainian soil and a bunch of sunflower seeds in a box. I thought it was poignant - given the current situation.

I commend the movie to all who can access it.
