  • 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.

Some of us might be familiar with the concept of a home altar: a space in the home that families transform into a vibrant place of prayer with uplifting religious art, relaxing candles, Bibles on bookstands, and other tools that give family members a safe haven to encounter God.

Physical home altars can include resources for prayer, tools for learning about faith, and items such as religious art that remind those who pass by of God’s presence in their life. Similarly, we can create digital home altars, building a go-to list of Catholic resources to help us live our lives more connected to God.

Here are a few suggestions you can use to build your own digital altar:
