• 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.

Regarding other religions...

well, thanks to that... mostly in our class is a catholic, only few are non- catholic... sometimes we try to ask them about their religion... try to see the differences, like one of my classmates in their religion they don't celebrate christmas, even if we did that we still are friends, and we treat them equally... and we respect their beliefs... and also in our theology class we are fair, we also ask about their religion...

Catholics are part of the Christian church. Lionheart, when you say a few people in your class are not Catholics are they a different sort of Christian, or are they not Christian, either?
