  • 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.

Here is an excerpt from another one of his entries:

Many ask why the Catholic Mass is so boring, so they try to spice it up with sugary tunes, Lobster costumes and other silliness

The Mass needs to be rightly understood in light of what is actually going on. So many out there deride liturgy because it doesn't make them feel good, or doesn't seem to meet their needs.

Guess what, The Mass is not there to make you feel good. In the first part the Mass is the worship of God Almighty. Whoa, says the post-Vatican II generation. What do you mean the worship of God? I thought that we were celebrating our being a "Community?"

Uhhhh.... No... The Mass is a community celebration, but it isn't a celebration of the community, this fact has been lost on a generation of Liturgist, Priests, Music Ministers, and a host of others out there who want us to party down and celebrate the fact that 28% of us have come together. So before I begin, I would like to lay out a few things that I really can't stand at a mass:
From now on I will probably be itching to find a way to enter 'Sugary tunes and Lobster cartoons' into a conversation.
