  • 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.

JD Vance said stuff.

It's 4:45 p.m. on a Friday and I'm coming at ya with a brief primer on what should be basic theology.

What JD Vance is referring to is "ordo amoris," or "Ordered Love" in Latin. The TL;DR version is that you have closer affections and duty to certain people, starting with God and working outward toward all of humanity.

Rightly orienting ourselves is essential to understanding how to do the will of our Father in heaven, and as finite creatures, we are not able to dedicate the same amount of time, energy, and resources to everyone in our lives.

But for some reason, this triggered Liberal Christian Twitter (I use that label very loosely).

Continued below.
Vance needs to go back to Catechism classes.

He is right and many Catholic theologians have come out saying so.

No, he is incorrect and I don't care what some Catholic theologians, who have come out of the closet, are saying. I'll take traditional Catholic teaching over them.
