  • 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.

I believe that Constantine's legalization of Christianity brought about the rise of Catholicism. I do not believe that Catholicism started with Jesus and Peter.

That would be difficult to prove using church historic documents. If you read what the early christians wrote (and believed) during all of the years before Constantine, you will find a very specific and very Catholic doctrine.
