  • 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.

I would like to share the story of a couple who waited nineteen years for a child. They tried all sorts of doctors and treatments. All it resulted in was one miscarriage.

Finally, they asked if they wanted to try artificial insemination. They decided to leave it up to the mercy of God. "Lord, if it is your will that we remain childless, so be it."

That year, the husband had a dream, wherein the Blessed Virgin (the family is catholic) told him that he would have a child by the end of the year. This was 1975.

His wife would say that it was late 1975 and still no pregnancy, but the husband said, let's leave it to God.
Early 1976 - pregnancy test positive.

late 1976 - yours truly was born XD
