  • 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 just discovered that today, is the Feast of Saint Jerome, and as most of you know, I plan on doing a Sola Scriptura debate on October 2nd, the day after tomorrow. I would like, my fellow-Catholics to offer-up some extra prayers to me, particularly through the intercession of Saint Jerome, that I do well in this upcoming debate, speaking the truth in love, and evangelize many. After doing some research on Sola Scriptura, I've discovered that everything in this debate, is riding on grace, and my conduct, for Sola Scriptura is a very easy thing to debunk. So please play for me, that I speak well with charity, and that there is an abundance of grace poured on everyone involved in this upcoming debate.

In the name of, the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Master of unworldliness and founder of monasteries, you had a deep love for God's inspired Word and were a most careful translator of the Sacred Scriptures. Your single-mindedness in seeking God's glory is a perfect model for all exegetes. Inspire them with respect for the sacred text as well as for Tradition and the Church's Magisterium. Help them to impart to all the true meaning of the Word of God. Amen.

Our Lady of Grace, pray for us!
Saint Jerome, pray for us!

In the name of, the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

Though I would never be a Catholic, Father, I pray for this one (that seems to be not far from the kingdom) that You would give them a clear understanding of Your will, Your way, and how to conduct them self in this upcoming debate. May You use their humble spirit and enlighten them in that which concerns You and the scriptures. For Your glory. Amen.
