  • 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.

    The Sin unto Death

    This subject is interesting. Have you considered 1:Cor6:9-11? 9 Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, 10 Nor the effeminate, nor liers with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor...

    I think I know what they mean by craving alcohol.

    Eating only one lays potato chip, should be an act of penance more powerful than fasting Try it, if you dare

    I think I know what they mean by craving alcohol.

    Sugar could be the problem. I would try a sugar free dessert to see what happens You would just need the artificial sweetener that you like best You don’t have to eat it all the time, just for diagnostic purposes

    I think I know what they mean by craving alcohol.

    That is why sweets are supposed to be for dessert not to be consumed alone I hate to be a broken record but what you are describing, emphasis on the senses, obsession, feelings of being hated… etc Sounds like you are being manipulated by forces of which you are unaware. After communion pray...

    I can't handle it, is there any way to avert this mentality?

    Ok, I have been there and done that. I was obsessed with a person before and could not get them out of my mind and used it as an excuse to drag other people into my obsession. I could give you the details but it’s enough to know that it was completely irrational. Yes it involved what...

    I can't handle it, is there any way to avert this mentality?

    Christ commands us to love our enemies, and we don’t understand why, until we see that love and hate are two sides of the same coin. What do you do when you love someone? Think about them all the time. What happens to them affects you. Their presence causes an emotional reaction. The sound...

    I can't handle it, is there any way to avert this mentality?

    I used to feel that way. It could be a sign that you are being oppressed by spirits. Satan does not want you to go to Mass, and He also does not want you to contemplate God, so he plays with your emotions I wonder if you feel hated or do you hate the people? If you feel hated, start praising...

    Let’s talk about abortion and the events of the last 52 years

    My fellow Catholics, I have read the rules of the forum regarding the discussion of abortion. I whole heartedly believe in Catholic teaching that it is a grave evil that is no conduct becoming saints. It is a sin and it is mortal, rendering a soul completely cut off from God and no hope of...

    Why Are There Different Numbering Systems for the Psalms?

    The problem I have with the Masoretic text is that I think it is based on rabbinical Judaism, which is not Judaism at all as the temple had been destroyed. It’s the same text that Protestants use to justify excluding the deuterocanonical texts. I could be wrong, but I just don’t like it. The...

    I was brought to tears during The Prayers of the Rosary, today.

    Yes. I was born Catholic and became a Jesus only mediator Protestant. I came back to the Catholic faith in complete humility in 2019 right before the sacraments were cut off The scripture that goes with the glorious mystery of the Coronation is Psalm 44 Douay rhiems . 7- Thy throne, O God...

    “Gay-Washed” Bible’s imprimatur should be withdrawn. Here’s why.

    This is the Douay Rhiems translation of Hosea 4:6 6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy...

    I think my dad was right on something.

    Curses are real. Generational spirits are real. Are we ultimately helpless against them? Of course no, but there are many holy souls oppressed by evil spirits. To dismiss their existence is to behave presumptuously. I put that in the category of “they don’t get it, advice not worth taking”...

    Please explain CCC 536 regarding Jesus and the Spirit: 'possessed in fullness' yet 'comes to rest on him'.

    Your thoughts and knowledge of liturgical history and of the faith are appreciated and well taken, but have you considered, without thinking about another person, just you and Our Lord, that there is never a “good reason” for schism? Sure we have theological disputes and our will tells us that...

    Slipped disc

    CBD does not work for everyone. It’s just an option for some. It works best for fibromyalgia and migraines. CBD has potential, but regular marijuana does not. Regular marijuana (delta 9 THC) and what we call gas station marijuana (delta 8 and delta 10 ) just get patients “high” increase...
