  • 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.

Just joining in

Hello to all :wave:
I just joined this forum. I was born and raised Catholic. I was born in Massachusetts, grew up in Arizona, lived in Texas and Florida. I am now living in Vermont. I've just been going through some troubled times, I kind of fell away from the church and God, not that I forgot about God, I just thought I'd do things my way. Well, it didn't work out so well. Now with the grace of God and some help with Fr. Ben at my church I am on my way back to recovery, after hitting rock bottom. That's why I'm here.:help: I hope to make some new friends here.:pray:
Thanks for letting me be here.
