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.

I could really do with some prayers over the next 2 weeks.
It's getting very close to the 10th Anniversary of my husband's death - and I'll admit it doesn't get any easier with the time passing . He insisted he was an atheist - but he did support me in my struggles as regards Church problems [ I'm NOT going into that] . He worked for many years as a driver taking ill and dying pilgrims to Lourdes in a specialist Coach that was fitted out as a mini hospital. He was , as my SF said , a really good man - better than many who proclaimed themselves to be good Christians.
Yes - I'm depressed , badly, at present, but I know it will slowly lift.
Lord have mercy on him !

Thanks for your prayers! My situation is ongoing, but is in a relatively peaceful place at the moment. It’s liable to crop up at any time, but the thing is surviving it when it does.

Also for my priest, (Arch-priest) Fr Vyacheslav. He has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, despite the successful removal of the tumor. And he is connected with my problem, and frankly, without his help, I can’t see how I’ll make it, myself. I spoke to him about my problem JUST before the discovery of his cancer, and he is my confessor, and the closest thing I have to a spiritual father. They’re giving him three months without treatment, and 15 with. He needs a miracle, and I need it, too.
