  • 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.

Tigue, who had founded a Catholic-focused software firm called Parish Solutions Co., was at first skeptical; he mused that such a program might be helpful at his own parish, but likely wasn’t marketable. But he was willing to give it a try.

Thinking all the while that his adoration-scheduling software would be a one-off project, Tigue coded a program that worked like a charm for his parish, Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Peachtree City, Georgia. After that success, he began offering the program to Parish Solutions Co.’s existing customers.
