  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

This is getting ridiculous...

Hey, nyj. I very much enjoy your posts. You always make your points in a way that anybody can understand without watering the teaching down in the process. You do a great job. I understand your frustrations, I really do. It is very hard for me to respond with kindness sometimes. The Lord knows I have a filthy temper, since He gave it to me after all.  I am, in unguarded moments, a sharp and sarcastic person with an appalling lack of patience. It pains me to know it, and I am slowing conquering it with God's help. I have come to regard the type of posts you speak of as tests of my resolve. Like God is saying, "Ok. Here's your chance. Show Me the Christ." I have been accused of 'kissing up' to the anti-Catholics, of surrendering my faith in the cause of "can't we all just get along', and of being a conniving schemer whose 'kindness' is just a mockery. *shrug* I've come to the conclusion that I can't please everyone no matter what I do, but I can still try to please God and His opinion is the one that matters.
Keep your hand on the plow, my friend, and may the Peace of Christ be with you. 

 


Don't give up Zoomom.  Some people just have hate in their hearts and no matter what you do or say they will dislike you all while claiming to be a Christian.  We should pray for these people Zoomom. 

Don't think your kindness goes unnoticed or unappreciated Zoomom.  If everyone here posted with the love and kindness you do then it'd be a completely different forum.

:clap:

linda4jesus,

I would like to point out that you are in a Catholic only area. Those of us that are not Catholic and have nothing negative to say are welcome to post here. If you have an issue that you wpould like to raise concerning the Catholic Church's doctrine feel free to do so...somewhere else. Get my drift?

The veil you use to cover your insult is thin indeed. See the post I left for linda4jesus. It applies to you as well.

Chelcb I don't have a problem with the 'church'.....just her doctrine.


Then discuss your problem with doctrine by asking questions so you better understand it which in turn will help you with your problem. Understanding does not equate acceptance, believeing, or converting, it only does away with insensitive comments which leads to attacks on both sides of the fence.

 

I think the way you asked questions in the Mary thread was very well accepted.

I was kinda slow picking up on what you did. :sigh: I'd like to believe that it wasn't intentionally aimed at someone, or some group, in particular though.

It wasn't, and since I can't publicly disagree with a mod, I have for the very first time, used the report button on that assumption.

Thank you for taking it as it was Zoomom.

And since it's a function that is barely a week old, I would like to congratulate you for that.


Gabriel.. I just want to say thank you. :)
