  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Just a reminder.....

To one and all:

With the recent influx of Traditionalists into the OBOB forum, we have been encountering posts bearing disrespectful, denegrating, and disparaging comments about Pope John Paul II and the post-conciliar Church in general.

Just as a reminder, I bring your attention to the sticky placed at the top of the forum menu, http://www.christianforums.com/showthread.php?t=20790:

This is a forum made up of Catholics who are in submission to the Pope and the Holy See. We would ask that discussions of a doctrinal nature please bear this in mind as the model to adhere to; although there are varying definitions of what "catholic" is, in order to dispel confusion among non-Catholic visitors and disruption of the forum as a whole, this is the definition of "Catholic" for this forum.

While you may disagree with the Pope and the post-Vatican II Church, please do so respectfully; in order to avoid conflict between Catholic members and massive confusion on the part of non-Catholics reading our threads, the Catholic Staff are asking you to curb the rhetoric. Some of the comments lately have been offensive to "Novus Ordo" Catholics, and will not be tolerated further; repeated infractions from this point forward will be dealt with by employing warnings in accordance with Rule #2 of Christian Forums.

We appreciate (and expect) your cooperation.

Thank you,
