  • 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.

What can we learn about the life of St. Constantine?

Constantine only favoured Christianity over pagan religions inasmuch as he ended the persecution of the Church by making it legal, and funded the construction of several new churches, and made the day on which Christians primarily worshipped an official day of rest,
all the actions of a man who is obviously pagan at heart.

Constantine only funded the travel and accommodation of over 200 bishops and their entourage from all over the empire for over 3 months, as well as providing the venue for the 1st Ecumenical council.

Seems pretty pagan to me.

don't forget that whole Nicaea thing. keeping order at the Council which affirmed the full Divinity of the Son of God sounds like something a pagan would do to me.
