  • 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.

Called by his heavenly Father and inspired and encouraged by his earthly one, Father Jeremiah Hahn expresses sincere appreciation for his calling.

Like many Catholic boys, Jeremiah Hahn considered becoming a priest. At an early age, the devoted altar server “first sensed an inkling” toward priesthood, even attending a meeting to learn more and affirm his future vocation.

This inclination was at least in part influenced by his father, well-known Catholic theologian and scholar Scott Hahn, a former Presbyterian minister who converted to Catholicism and entered the Church at the Easter vigil in 1986.

Scott, 68, holds the Father Michael Scanlan, T.O.R., Chair of Biblical Theology and the New Evangelization at Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, where he has taught since 1990.

A well-known program host on EWTN, he also is the founder and president of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. Scott speaks often nationally and internationally — both in person and on radio and television — on various topics regarding Scripture and the Catholic faith.
