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.

Good question. We only have Jesus when he arose from the dead in his healed old body. He had back his old lungs, but that doesn't tell us anything about our future bodies, which will be different. In his new immortal body, he must have put on something different because he is in heaven, where there is no air.
Furthermore, the New Jerusalem's highest floor is higher than satellites in space--again, no air. If people want to see the view from the top floor of New Jerusalem, they will have to have air tanks or a different set of lungs.
I'd like to think that our future immortal bodies will be similar to what we have now. But Paul called such speculation "foolish." And I don't want to be a "fool!"
But it's a good question!

The Beginning of the End of Recreational Catholicism

While Recreational Catholicism—the tangled knot of the therapeutic, political, theatrical, and ego-massaging trend besetting the Church—has had its day, we are now on the cusp of a resurrection.
Recreational Catholicism? Let me explain.
It is an attribution identifying the current stage of collapse in the Roman Church. Its coinage is meant to convey the tangled knot of the therapeutic, political, theatrical, and ego-massaging trend besetting the Church, all of which produces a kind a zombie Catholic, who is daily fed on what Huxley called in Brave New World the “feelies”: engineered pleasures that maintain their victims in a state of floating euphoria.
Its principal vehicle is the liturgy, where Sunday “celebrations” are carefully planned by Liturgy Committees for maximum effusions of non-threatening messages of “welcoming.” While normal men gag on its oozing sentimentality, certain kinds of Catholics crave it. Sunday after Sunday. It is like a narcotic, you see.

This is a developing story.
The Lebanese terror group Hezbollah launched some 150 rockets in three barrages at northern Israel on Friday afternoon after Israeli airstrikes struck over 100 of its rocket launchers over the past 12 hours.
On Friday morning, the IDF reportedly continued pounding Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon, while IDF Home Front Command instructed residents of northern Israel to stay near a shelter.
In the first barrage, shortly after 1 p.m., Hezbollah targeted the area of Safed, Mount Meron and the northern Golan Heights. Rocket impacts were reported in a playground near Safed and a barn in Kibbutz Ortal on the Golan Heights.
In the second barrage, around 70 rockets targeted the same area, with reports of an impact near Ein Zeitim.
A third wave of some 20 rockets targeted the area of Mount Meron.
