• 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.

no, it's that on this particular forum, only EO are allowed to teach and debate. there are a ton of folks who cause problems by violating the rules (like that Byzantine Catholic dude a little while back), and there are those like Anhelyna and inquirers/catechumens like yourself who follow the rules and it's no big deal.

Cool. :) I see what you mean. Thanks!

Frankly I can't see why people have to be excessively rude and violate your hospitality .

I always feel at home here , the support I've received when in need, has been incredible.

Awe, thanks Antony! And Anhelyna, I think you belong too! You must be an honorary member at least, and very welcome!

(And y'all be careful - I wouldn't want "Byzantine Dude" - I forget his name - to reflect on GoingByzantine, who I'm always glad to see! And who is also Catholic. :) )

Hey, you're an Eastern Catholic who refuses to caucus with Catholics, I'm an Orthodox Christian who had to be DRAGGED, gagged, chained, and transported to Fresno in armored car under armed escort to get chrismated! LOL....I'm with ya!

Well Kylissa really does belong to you now - she's got that very important date now :)

I'm the odd one out - I know

Anhelyna is holding onto the papacy with one pinky! LOL

:D :D

I always say I have no idea where my journey will finally lead me - I leave it in His hands.

As for that Byzantine dude - Gurney if it's who I think you mean - that's the one that called me a Putin lover !! Господи, помилуй x40 [ and the rest :) ]

I don't recall, but it is pretty hilarious the notion of YOU being a Putin lover!!?! What on Earth? While you're one of the most tactful, careful, and thoughtful people I know in here with your words, I know for a fact that you are no fan of Putin's! LOL....Your relationship with the Ukrainians should be a clue! duh! ^_^

:D :D
