• 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.

In this thread we are aiming for quality posts. As the quality control OP, I will be monitoring to make sure we all make the grade. To avoid secularism, idle chat will be highly discouraged. Think "all things catholic" and you are definitely on the right track.
Now I'll be off to Mass soon, so when I come back I want to see lots of quality input. By the way, there's my key Catholic input.."off to Mass soon". If not inspire, this will certainly remind you of your duty to attend Mass this weekend. I've done the readings already thanks to scribe Tad. (Taddy O to his close associates) 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.

Definition of 'quality' please
This post does not pass quality control I'm afraid.
But I forgive you for trying to reach the standard required.

My sister was Catholic.

Does that count?
I'm just conferring with my top secret mod mates about this post. "was" is a concern. We prefer "is".(present tense)
I'll get back to you on whether your post will be accepted or not.

Yes, i'm sure she is, and how precious that your parents are in heaven as well.

My sister was a lot like Mother Teresa.

It boggles me mind, cuz i'm not.

I've been told that once you reach heaven, you don't have to go to Mass any more.

That's because mass is going on constantly.

That's why mass is so awesome. It's where heaven touches earth.

She IS quite universally revered, y'know :D

And thanks.
Catholics have ownership though. She's ours!! :)
I think she gets canonised soon, doesn't she? So its Saint Mother Theresa.

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.

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.
