Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

"There they go telling on themselves again."

View attachment 331959
Minnesota bill does not create a protected class for child sex offenders

Some reports from conservative news outlets also claimed that the bill would remove "anti-pedophile language."

These claims are misleading.

Rep. Leigh Finke, D-St. Paul, who is transgender, wrote House File 1655, also called the "Take Pride Act." The bill creates a new definition for "gender identity" in the Minnesota Human Rights Act and makes it a violation to discriminate against people based on their gender identities in housing and education, for example.

"Nothing in the bill changes or weakens any of the crimes against children in our criminal statute, or the state’s ability to prosecute those who break the law. Of course pedophilia is not a protected class, is not a sexual orientation, which is why the language never should have been in the bill in the first place,"

To further ensure that child sex offenders would not be protected under the state’s Human Rights Act, Rep. Harry Niska, R-Ramsey, proposed adding language to the civil law policy bill saying, "The physical or sexual attachment to children by an adult is not a protected class under this chapter." The amendment was added to the bill, which the House passed April 26; the measure awaits a Senate vote.

We rate this claim False.

This isn't the first time internet trolls have attempted something like this.

Social media users have been sharing posts online that falsely imply the LGBTQ community is accepting of “pedosexuals” and some posts claim that the community will add the letter P to the acronym LGBT. The association of pedophilia to the LGBTQ+ community is an offensive and debunked trope.

And from the Philippines? Lol. You are coming in the Catholic forum an awful lot to correct people about their thoughts on Islam, American politics and the gay community.

I'm a missionary and I'm passionate about truth because I follow and represent the One who is the Truth (John 14:6). Slandering others, sharing misleading information and fake news damages our credibility and our witness. Whenever I come across fake news or misinformation, whether it be about the LGBTQ community, Muslims, politics, or whatever; I'm going to do my best to counter it with truth.

Politifact is not exactly truthful. This is a safe haven for Catholics to discuss issues of the day. We have no need of you continually swooping in to school everyone on your version of the truth. We can discuss our concerns without it. Visitors are not allowed to debate here.

It's interesting that I only ever see you "counter misinformation with truth" when it's about leftist ideologies, of course in favor of the leftism. That doesn't seem like truth to me - that seems like agenda.

Somehow I missed this one. Of course it's a college professor. This is what happens to our kids in western universities. They are absolutely trying to normalize pedophilia. It's been the next step for a long time.

That's some real dedication! Writing an entire book when she could have summed up the truth in one sentence: "I, Allyn Walker, am sexually attracted to children, and I would like it to be normalized."

Sick, sick stuff.

Yes. Another way to throw the real victims in the trash heap.
