• 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. 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.

Solidarity with the poor also means paying big bucks to some guy to hop around the sanctuary and blow bubbles. Yes, this happened in the Archdiocese of Chicago... this decade.

What a travesty! Were I subjected to such nonsense in my territorial parish, I would find my way to the TLM just to preserve my sanity.

I liked the sign interpreter. There aren’t many priests able to offer mass using sign language so I’m sure such a service is well appreciated by the deaf community.

JP2 used to wear brown shoes!

Looks like an edited pic in the article.

Not sure it can be trusted.
I agree. The photo montage of dancers near the top of the southernorderspage.blogspot.com page obviously did not come from the Kids Mass at Holy Family Parish.

I am more aligned with big benny's comments in the blog:

Looks like children’s mass at a very popular mega church type arrangement. Not entirely my cup of tea and a few things need reigning back but I don’t see that there’s a lot to jump up and down about.
