• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. 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.

How are you all doing with your Lenten abstinence or sacrifice? I didn’t give up anything, just praying the rosary. So far, so good. There were a couple times I didn’t feel like it but I did it anyway.
I'm not doing good with the sacrifices thing. There is one reddit sub that I've been avoiding, but every time I try to uninstall the FB app on my phone, I reinstall it a couple hours later. Gosh darn it I wish I remembered what the days were like when I didn't have any addiction to a phone screen.

I’m doing pretty awful. Need to carve out more time for structured prayer, such as the rosary.

Doing ok I think, but I forgot about ember days and haven't abstained Wednesday or today. Though I suppose I could catch up by not having dinner.

I did fall into a state of mortal sin a few days ago and need to go to confession, which is always kinda difficult with my constant work schedule but I think I should be able to go next Wednesday night.
