• 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 hope my humble 2 cents are not unwanted here because I'm Catholic, but I can definately relate to what your wife is going through. It's hard when you've had such a negative experience with a religious group to have to call them to mind (even if you are saying "catholic" vs "Catholic"). I agree with the others that letting her vent to you could be a really good thing. Maybe by talking about it she will be able to let go of some of the hate she's holding in her heart. I don't know that changing the words to the apostles creed is really the way to go, (1) because it's part of the faith and (2) because even if she doesn't say it, she'll still have to hear the rest of the church proclaiming it. Maybe if you two share some personal prayer time together Jesus will take the pain that is burdaning your wife.

You both are certainally in my prayers.


Thanks for the reply. Perhaps I speek only for myself, but just because as Reformed Christians we are emphatically against the Papacy and everthing it stands for, we do love Catholics who love the lord. Your advice is more than welcome! :)

Thanks Wilfred :hug: I questioned my replying just because this particular thread seemed like sort of a "private" conversation and I didn't want to make waves of any sort in a thread that was obviously written out of genuine concern and seeking genuine advice. And btw...we love you Lord lovers too :)
