  • 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.

The "un-derailable" thread!

It's probably best not to know.

I had another image in mind I wanted to share, so I searched a few permutations of "priest throwing holy water".

I couldn't find it, but I thought this was funny, so shared it.

I should say - I don't know for sure what it is. It was posted on a Catholic blog, and was disapproved in the post. It may or may not be Catholic, and may or may not be officially connected to a Church.

But it was just meant as a joke. I don't think it's standard procedure anywhere.

What I was actually looking for was an image I've seen of an Orthodox priest with a big (I don't know what you call it) brush-like thing he dips in the water and flings water from it ... this image had a HUGE SPLASH of water hitting the people. I was going to remark on that, and priests throwing a lot of water. But it never turned up. Got very few images of priests and Holy Water at all, most were unrelated to my search terms.

I hate when I intended to reply to a couple of threads, but I was too tired and thought I'd get to it later, then forgot which ones. Y'all please forgive me if I didn't answer someone's post to me. I just can't remember.

Nice. I've heard from everyone who's watched it that they liked it. I've heard from one person though that it's mostly story until the last few minutes. Would you say that's accurate? Also, from your statements there, you'd recommend a person go see it?

There is story and action all the way through. I highly recommend it. It was a welcome breath of fresh air after that horrendous Force Awakens travesty....
