  • 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.

Health Update of His Eminence Archbishop Paul – Diocese of the Midwest

BURBANK, IL [DOM] – This past week, His Eminence Archbishop Paul was diagnosed with Multiforme Glioblastoma, an aggressive, incurable brain cancer. His Eminence has chosen to work with his oncologists in order to slow the progress of his cancer, for as long as possible, through radiation and chemotherapy.

The clergy and faithful of the diocese are asked to increase their prayers for His Eminence during this trying time.

The good work of His Eminence will continue through the Chancery staff as usual.

May God grant His Eminence peace, safety, honor, health, and length of days, rightly to divide the word of Thy truth.

Lord have mercy!

From what I saw from priests on FB yesterday, he's apparently very near to death. May God grant him a peaceful and repentant repose!

Lord have mercy! yeah, that’s how it looked to me.
