• 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.

OK i'm back from mass and I can see there is a lack of input. I guess the "quality" criteria worried most out of posting.
Oh and i'd just like to mention that I haven't missed one Sunday Mass since March this year, when I returned to the faith. That would surely put me in the running for fairest and best TLT catholic 2016? But I fear that Colin hasn't missed Mass since 1952, not long after he was born.

Well now you done did it...

ya' done skeered ev'ry body.

I have heard that she gets canonised soon, but i'm terrible with keeping up with those details...she may have already been canonized ^_^

She indeed was a precious and dear soul, Catholic or not.

:)
Her dedication, faith and work ethic were totally awesome.

Lord have mercy on your soul Brinny. You know yelling at Internet Providers is one of the worst sins out there. I've never yelled at my internet provider.

That is very generous of you, seeing that you are perfect and have no need of forgiveness.

Oh look I don't see myself as perfect Brinny. It's true my sin count is hovering on zero but I prefer to not dwell on my holiness but instead help others see the errors of their ways.

You know what they say........

Go to church or go to hell. :priest:

Reminds me of my childhood catholic education. We were really paranoid about missing Mass.

would it help if i posted that i intended to go to mass today but there was no mass when i got to the church?
(i got the day wrong, thinking it was Sunday morning when it was actually Saturday.)
so since there was no one else there (and I still thought it was Sunday, mind)
I did what any good Catholic would do;
I pulled out my rosary and did the parish community pre-mass recitation of the rosary all by myself.

then when I finished, i dropped off my offering envelope at the office door, prayed for the safety of the church, the bishop, the Pope, and my priest, and came home still none the wiser that it was Saturday. ^_^

The theme is "humble". So all I need to do is repeat the mantra "humble, humble, humble" on the way to Church, and I'll be well and truly prepped for Mass.
it is so hard to be humble after I make a quality post

Just to show how forgiving I am, I forgive you. :)
Maybe you can go to Mass twice next weekend as a penance.
