  • 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.

How does the priest do this?

This one priest gives a homily at the Vigil Mass and then in the morning Mass he practically gives the same verbatim homily, but he's not reading from anything - he is reciting out of his mouth (while "walking around"). It's no small homily either, yet the words seem practically identical to the one the evening before. I find that puzzling, how he can achieve that.

So you went to the vigil Mass and then the Sunday Mass the next day?

Priest usually gives the same homily at the Masses they celebrate that week-end.

They do but I thought it was interesting how well-done the similarity was considering the length, and not reading off anything.
