• 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.

  • 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

I don't go there. Never do. Not to read nor to discuss. OBOB is my little.. enclave, my home, where I can discuss the Faith the way I believe in it. I think it would be disrespectful to them to come into their home and constantly question them.
Should I have a sincere question on a protestant doctrine, something that I simply do not understand, I would considder going there to get the answer from them and not the catholic view of what the protestants believe. But otherwise..

I feel I serve better by staying here in OBOB. There is a real hunger here that needs to be fed. Lot's of new folks considering Catholicism, returning Catholics, Cradle Catholics looking for answers...not to mention the Lurkers - those who read but never post. So, I feel called to hang around here..as do many of the regulars...

Well the truth is I do read the threads there and if I see something that contradicts JESUS or Christianity OR directly bashes Catholics then I do respond and not always as nicely as I could.

At least I am honest. I do have a bit of a quick temper and I really do need to work on that! But I am a defender of my faith and of Jesus so I guess sometimes it cannot be helped!

Yes, it can.

Even an innocent question may be misinterpreted as an accusation.
It may be misinterpreted, but it may not. Same goes for questions here in the OBOB.

Generally I stay away from PRE and only on occassion do I venture over there. When I do, I'm usually discouraged that there are attacks on our faith that are considered acceptable. Since we're not able to defend ourselves from false statements, etc. I don't really see the point.:scratch:
