• 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.

  • 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.

This pope may not have committed atrocities. He does seem to excuse and enable atrocious people though. He has made an absolute mess of the Church and doesn't seem to have a firm grasp on his personal doctrine either.
He’s 88 and needs our prayers.

Time isn’t on his side.

Popes need people praying for them. This pope really needs it.

Another person in a gated (walled) community (country) with security (military of sorts) telling us peasants we have to live with murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and thieves who have broken into our home (country) illegally. Shocking (sarcasm).

These freaking world leaders, church leaders, rich elites, celebrities etc etc can so easily tell us we have to do something they haven't done and will never do. Come out of your walls, Francis, and live among the population without your guard.
