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.

Is God omnipotent?

Amen, brother. God's power level is infinite, beyond all measure, and can not be contained. This reminds me of a Chris Tomlin song, Indescribable (2004), which I posted on the forum over a month ago.
For reference, this is how a Googolplex is represented in exponents.

NY Congressman Put GF and Daughter of Fiancee (not GF) on Payroll
- By iluvatar5150
- American Politics

A Congressman Had an Affair. Then He Put His Lover on the Payroll.
Representative Anthony D’Esposito, a New York Republican, gave part-time jobs to both his lover and his fiancée’s daughter, in possible violation of House ethics rules.
Mr. D’Esposito’s hiring decisions since he won a seat in Congress in 2022 have been audacious — and in two cases may have transgressed ethics rules designed to combat nepotism and corruption.
Shortly after taking the oath of office, the first-term congressman hired his longtime fiancée’s daughter to work as a special assistant in his district office, eventually bumping her salary to about $3,800 a month, payroll records show.
In April, Mr. D’Esposito added someone even closer to him to his payroll: a woman with whom he was having an affair, according to four people familiar with the relationship. The woman, Devin Faas, collected $2,000 a month for a part-time job in the same district office.

Pope Francis Names New Consultors to Vatican’s DDF, Including Controversial Theologian Father Maurizio Chiodi

Pope Francis has named 28 new consultors to the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, including moral theologian Father Maurizio Chiodi, who has expressed opinions contrary to Church teaching.
Chiodi, a moral theologian, has come under media scrutiny in recent years for suggesting contraception use in marriagecould be morally permissible in some circumstances.
In a 2017 lecture in Rome, the priest also said that homosexual relationships “under certain conditions” could be “the most fruitful way” for those with same-sex attraction “to enjoy good relations.”

Every Catholic Needs to Know About This Little-Known Eucharistic Doctrine

‘Concomitance,’ as St. Thomas Aquinas explains it, means that ‘nothing is lost by the body being received by the people without the blood.’
This summer, I got to celebrate Holy Mass in the Brooklyn parish where I stay when I’m home from my assignment as the academic dean of the Pontifical North American College in Rome. It is always a joy to offer Mass for a parish community. For me, it is a homecoming.
This parish is a multi-ethnic one in my diocese with a pastor born in Pakistan, an Urdu Mass, growing Haitian and Hispanic communities, and many other people, most of them longtime residents of this area of Brooklyn. It has in many ways become a welcoming oasis for me, a true family, and a place of rest and prayer. Named after the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I feel her motherly protection and presence — never more so than this summer when I offered my own mother’s funeral Mass in this parish.
One of the things that the parishioners of this parish have told me over my many years of association with it is that they truly appreciate homilies that teach them about the faith. These are parishioners who tell me that they are yearning for content and catechesis. They have mentioned that, as much as they appreciate nice stories about nice people being nice to others (basically what Bishop Robert Barron has described as “beige Catholicism,” which is its own brand of Moralistic Therapeutic Deism), what they want most of all is to learn about the faith — its contents, its practices and tradition, and how best to live this faith out in the world today.
