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.

Nothing, we Catholics call that celibacy. Priests are all celibate, and there are some lay people also. If God has not called you to marriage then that is fine.

nothign preists and monks and nuns don't get married. in fact Jesus said that if you give up marrige for the sake of God then you will be blessed. and Paul wrote that if you can make it through life without getting married then you should because it is easier to devote yourself to christ if you don't have to be devoted to a spouse.Fly04~J~ said:Why?? I know in the bible itself said that women and man must be united... but, let say I don't wanna get married... what wrong with that??

There's nothing wrong in choosing not to marry.
Marriage is not a requirement to live a Godly life. If that were so, I am on the wrong road.
