  • 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

CV NEWS FEED // The Veritas Amoris Project has just published a never-before-seen text of Pope Benedict XVI addressing some of the fundamental crises of our day.

The newly published text, titled “The Christian Image of Man,” is the final part of a handwritten work that Pope Benedict asked to have published only after his death. The retired pontiff wrote it between Christmas and Epiphany 2019-2020, entrusting it to Fr. Livio Melina, former head of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. Fr. Melina and Fr. José Granados co-edited the third volume of the Italian journal for the Veritas Amoris Project, “La verità dell’amore, Tracce per un cammino.”

The Veritas Amoris Project was founded in 2019 by Frs. Melina and Granados, who were both professors of dogmatic and moral theology at the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family. The Institute was gutted in 2019, and scholars and theologians faithful to the vision of John Paul II on marriage, family, and the moral life were expelled.
