• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

New Catholic!

Let me rephrase the "just feels right": I agree with the teachings, doctrines, beliefs, etc of the Catholic Church and it feels like a good home for my soul
We know what you mean bro -- just want to give you some advice... ;)

I don't have many questions, Catholicism just seems to make sense to me.
This is so wonderful that you have decided to come all the way into Catholicism! I think that when you come in with pretty much most, if not all of the big ones, questions answered, it is much easier, because you have already learned a lot . .

Let us know what your priest says . . they may, at this late date, want you to wait to formally come in next Easter as the next round of RCIA classes start at the beginning of the school year . . do not let this put you off if they do require it . . there is much that you will receive and much you can participate in . . I am actually on our Adult Faith Formation committee and not yet formally a member of the Catholic Church . . become as plugged in as you can . . you will be very welcome! :)

Oh, and JefferyLloyd posted about some free courses you can take - they send the book to you and you read it and answer the questions . .then, when you are done, you can get another one, free . . you might ask him more about it!


Peace in Him!

You left protestants out:mad:, they're already attacking me, lol.

I just realised another reason why I Catholicism so much: all the Latin! I love the language, and this is about the only place it is ever used anymore. I wish there was a church near me that conducted the whole mass in Latin, but sadly, the only one here doesn't use it:(

Anyway, thanks for all the support!

I think Latin is the best language. I have to admit Italian is prettier, but Latin is just better.
