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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Let us not forget that everytime we are in a Church, Jesus is present in the Eucharist body, blood, soul, and divinity. It is really the same thing as the picture, except He is sacramentally present instead of present in all of His majesty and glory.
exactly!! During the last presidential the person who lost was in Lorain over 10,000 people went to see him and there is seldom over 2 people in our perpetual adoration chapel ~ go figure!

I would fall on my knees and behold Him with awe. I would ask Him to have mercy on me a sinner, and thank Him for every ounce of goodness that I have been able to experience because of His abundant love and mercy. Then I would ask Him, if He would embrace me.

Yes!! You are aware that HE is present in the tabernacle in every Catholic Church right. HE would love to have you visit HIM there!!

how would you know it was JESUS if he wasn't dressed that way?? plus look at my CF characator ~ it is the way i prefer to dress.

Well, how do we know the Eucharist is Jesus? But for the sake of art, I think the demeanor, the posing, the nail marks in the hands, a glow and perhaps a bit of the traditional art Trinity halo might get the point across.

If Jesus was walking down the street in jeans, would we recognize Him? The people of the time he walked the earth had to discern him when he was dressed just like the rest of them.

good question. if HE was walking down the street in normal clothes and hair style and no marks on HIS hands would we recognize HIM? I think i might recognize HIM in a pub. HE would be the one telling parables and/or asking penetrating questions.
