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.

“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp...
“Now I want you to know, brethren, that my circumstances have turned out for the greater progress of the gospel, so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else, and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord...
“He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. What He has seen and heard, of that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that...
Well, this week the president supported medical advice from a non-medical doctor who was a heroin addict for 14 years (and says he did better in school because of it?), and had a brain worm eating his brain, and who eats road kill. The advice is not supported by science or the medical...
I am not exaggerating when I say that I am undergoing a shaking.
I am one of a group lay folk who each give a Bible study to Spanish speakers. My presentation is more like a sermon. I have, in a sense, felt pruned in preparing for these. I have been writing and writing my words. For many...
“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
“Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be...
Before light, before land, before time itself was counted — the Spirit hovered over the formless deep. This is tohu wa-bohu, the blank canvas of creation (Gen 1:2).
The question of how to interpret the creation account in Genesis 1 has sparked countless discussions and debates among Christians...
Fisepel said then, "I have been working out a story too. It probably needs much more development still, I just thought of basic things for it."
Jecharon said, "You can still tell us what you have for it, we already will understand you do not have it all finished."
"Alright. Two sisters, Eva...
We Partake of God’s Tenderness
St. Peter writes that Christians are to have a “tender heart.”[269] With Mary, we receive and respond to God’s tenderness in our encounters with Him—in His Word, in the Eucharist, and in the Love Crucified Community.
The Simple Path to Union with God (p. 278)...
“See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we would be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He...
People just don't like taking turns. They take the easy way out and cherish divisiveness because they naturally are incapable of compromise, preferring to be self-serving. It is not the system's fault, but the people's. God has been saying this about us since the Garden.

“Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is passing...
What should we remember in times of ethical crisis? Jesus summed it up in two commandments. We are selfish, self-serving individuals. When we put God's will first, we must then change (repent) of such behaviour. Loving all, not just self, means we must not only consider others in times of their...
“For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the...
“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations...
“Therefore in Christ Jesus I have found reason for boasting in things pertaining to God. For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed, in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of the...
So Trump claimed he was for free speech during the election. uh-huh.

Conscience is not a thermostat of personal moral preference, but a receiver that finds its true signal in the power and Word of God. As we draw closer to Him, our conscience is guided by the Holy Spirit's quiet voice, helping us tune out the static of self and the world so that we may more...
