  • 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Pope Leo XIV appoints Cardinal Cupich to Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State

    The one person who seems to come well out of this, is Senator Durbin.

    Pope Leo XIV expels deacon from the clerical state for abuse of minors

    Clerics - of any and every rank - who abuse minors, should be: - degraded from the clergy, in the old manner; not merely "laicised", which is insulting nonsense - denied the Sacraments even at the moment of death - excommunicated Men have been burnt alive for less. Modern paedos are treated...

    Prominent Northern Ireland cleric calls for King Charles to abdicate after prayer with pope

    It is a problem, and Mr Paisley is right to object.

    Would Jesus Condemn the Rosary? Jesus condemns ‘vain repetition’ in prayer . . . but Catholics also have the rosary.

    Psalm 136 is full of repetitions. Repetition is not forbidden. Vain piling up of words - a common Evangelical practice - is what is forbidden. https://biblehub.com/esv/psalms/136.htm

    The "Church Fathers" Scriptural or Not

    Translation: Catholicism is the satanic Babylonian Mystery Religion, Jesus hates Catholics, and the Church apostatised in the first century AD. Ayyyyymen Hallelujah Praise the Lord Praise Jeebus and Pass the Ammunition. None of this is new. It’s vintage Jack Chick.

    God is the source of human rights, not government

    This is a typically ignorant USA superstition, and typical Fundy thinking (which has deeply contaminated & defiled US Catholicism, sad to say). Rights come partly from God, and partly from the State. Sometimes they agree or overlap, and sometimes they do not. The stuff in the US constitution...

    Things none of ya'll have ever read about Revelation.

    Those posts redefine the phrase “wall of text”. How do you expect other posters to interact with something that is thousands of words long ?

    There is nothing wrong with censorship. Far from it.

    Gibbons Decline & Fall & Christianity

    That must be why Damasus of Rome asked Jerome to translate the NT from Greek into Latin: in order to hide its meaning from Latin-speaking Christians ! How very efficient ! Because the purpose of translation is to hide the meaning of what is translated. Obviously.

    Fleeing to Mars not of God

    Yes, definitely. Because it has no relevance to the thread whatsoever. And at least scientists don’t go bilking people out of their hard-earned cash because of a totally imaginary Rapture. Unlike some Christians. Better to have “unbelieving scientists” than snake-oil salesmen like Harold...

    Fleeing to Mars not of God

    I agree with this entirely. If the Second Coming can be derailed by a mere detail like humans moving to another planet then that suggests that God is pretty pathetic. Which is absurd. I don’t think it makes the slightest difference where the human race ends up; I think the Second Coming, if it...

    Pope Leo XIV on Vatican’s finances: ‘I’m not losing sleep over it’

    Not a hope in Hell of any of that. He's Bergoglio Mark 2, doing a few good things, lousing them up with very lousy stuff.

    Register your affiliations so we can know you

    Apparently not LOL. Even in Church matters, it seems to be assumed that everyone is from the USA. IOW, that Catholicism is not catholic at all, but is purely American. Which makes sense, if the USA is the only country in the world. The last thing the Church needed was a USA pope - that will not...

    The Harm Caused by Excessive Criticism of the Roman Catholic Church and Other Denominations

    Thanks for that. I fear that it won't make a lot of difference. Judging others - especially an "other" who has for centuries had top billing as Supreme Earthly Enemy of God and the Gospel - is much too entertaining. Everything that can be said in defence of the CC, can be explained away. That's...
