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 not to celebrate. After two long years, people are finally able to gather in the streets, reconnecting with loved ones and holding onto hope that this occasion will be different from the previous attempts. There is much to be grateful for today. It is also appropriate to acknowledge those who contributed meaningfully—President Trump played a crucial role, and did so with remarkable skill.

Vatican appoints judges to decide Rupnik sexual abuse case

The Vatican’s doctrine office announced Monday that a panel of five judges has been nominated to decide the disciplinary case against Father Marko Rupnik, accused of the sexual and psychological abuse of consecrated women under his spiritual care.
The judges, appointed Oct. 9, do not hold any position in the Roman Curia — the Vatican’s governing body — to ensure their autonomy and independence in the penal judicial procedure, according to an Oct. 13 press release from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF).
Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, the head of the DDF, told journalists in July that the judges for the Rupnik case had been selected. The panel of judges includes both women and clerics.
Fernández had said in an interview at the end of January that the dicastery had finished gathering information in the disciplinary case, had conducted a first review, and was working to put together an independent tribunal for the penal judicial procedure.
Rupnik — a well-known artist with mosaics and paintings in hundreds of Catholic shrines and churches around the world — is accused of having committed sexual, psychological, and spiritual abuse against dozens of women religious in the 1980s and early 1990s.
In May 2019, the then-Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith launched a criminal administrative process against Rupnik after the Society of Jesus reported credible complaints of abuse by the priest to the Vatican.

Advocates warn EU commission against law that would silence speech in US, globally
- By Michie
More than 100 free speech advocates, including former U.S. and European officials, have urged the European Commission to reconsider a key internet regulation that they say risks censoring global speech and undermining international free expression rights.
In a letter to the executive body of the European Union, the 113 signatories warned that the EU’s Digital Services Actcreates “a pan-European censorship infrastructure” with vaguely defined limits that could suppress lawful content across borders, human rights group ADF International reported.
The letter calls for an overhaul of the commission’s review process, demanding that it include input from independent experts in constitutional law, digital rights and free expression.
The review is due by Nov. 17. Signatories include former U.S. Ambassador at-large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback, former Yahoo Europe Vice President Jean-Marc Potdevin, Princeton professor Robert P. George, Free Speech Union founder Toby Young, journalist Michael Shellenberger, and rights advocate Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.

Drug cartels now rule 70% of Mexico: ‘Far from a holy nation’
- By Michie
'The kingdom of darkness is in this nation because our leaders are invoking deities they should not be invoking'
A Mexican lawmaker from the ruling party said that organized crime, not elected officials, controls much of the country, warning that Mexico is “far from being a holy nation.”
Speaking at a Christian conference on the topic of “Kings and Priests, or Kings or Priests, or Neither Kings nor Priests,” Hugo Eric Flores Cervantes — an Evangelical politician and deputy with the ruling MORENA Party — told a large audience that “70 percent of Mexico is governed by drug cartels.”
“Let’s not deceive ourselves — organized crime appoints mayors,” Flores said during the event held at Centro Familiar Cristiano church. “In the beginning, organized crime financed political campaigns; later, they began appointing rulers; and now, they are the rulers.”
Flores, a lawyer with a Ph.D. in legal sciences from Harvard University, described Mexico’s political order as an “inverted power pyramid” and argued that the country’s moral decay has spiritual roots. “If a spiritual government does not rise in this nation, a civil government will not rise either,” he said. “We are not seeing the fruits of Christians.”
