We're all about building an incredible community and we’re thrilled you’re a part of it!  When commenting, we have one simple request - please treat each other as brothers and sisters.

We ask that you:

• Be Respectful.

• Weigh in with informed ideas that contribute to the  discussion.

• Choose your words wisely.  Comments used to insult, antagonize, or inflame will be deleted.

• THINK before you post: is it True, Helpful, Inspirational, Necessary, and Kind?

To keep the discussions civil and substantive, we reserve the right to delete comments. Here are some of the kinds of comments that will be removed:

• Derogatory remarks about the Catholic Church, it's teaching, or the Pope.

• Promoting your own brand, product, or blog.  

• Comments that are not related to the content. Sometimes discussions veer a bit, but are still related to the original subject. That is fine. Hijacking the conversation to promote off-topic commentary is not.

• Threats — no matter how vague — against the author or other commenters.

• Trolling

• Personal attacks, insults, stalking, harassment, slander, and offensive speech will be removed.
