The true CFC is described, as has been said, by 3 key words: Global, wholistic, Catholic.
The '''Foundation for Family and Life (FFL)''' is a [[dissident]] group led by former leaders of '''[[Couples for Christ|Couples for Christ (CFC)]]'''. The FFL is a [[Catholic Charismatic Renewal|Catholic charismatic group]], virtually mirroring the community it had [[separation|separated]] from, the Couples for Christ, but unlike CFC, does not fully support [[poverty reduction]]. FFL has only been recognized in a limited number of [[List of the Roman Catholic dioceses of the Philippines|Philippine dioceses]], and should not be confused with [[Couples for Christ]].


CFC is an evangelistic and missionary community, serving the universal Church.
==History==
CFC is a family life renewal movement, with womb-to-tomb support environments.
FFL was formally established in August 2007, but had existed previously as the '''Easter/Playboy Bunnies''',<ref>{{cite web|last=Foundation for Family and Life, Inc.|title=Minutes of Easter/Playboy Bunnies|url=http://www.cfc.gerimie.com/Archives/2007-06-07%20Easter%20Group%20-%20Minutes%20of%20Meeting.pdf}}</ref> later changed to the '''Easter Group''' once the group's existence was unceremoniously revealed. Despite their break-away and official [[separation]] from ''the'' [[Couples for Christ]], FFL claims to be the "true, original CFC".<ref>{{cite web|last=Foundation for Family and Life, Inc.|title=FFL About Us|url=http://www.cfcffl.org/about_us/about_us_content.htm}}</ref>
CFC is an integral part of the life and mission of the Roman Catholic Church.

==Organization==
The Foundation for Family and Life, taken from the name of CFC's priest ministry, "Priests for Family and Life", has essentially the same [[organizational structure]] as [[Couples for Christ]], but does not have any equivalent to the '''[[Couples_for_Christ#Social_Ministries|CFC Social Ministries]]'''.


==Miscellaneous==
The FFL has [[Appropriation (art)|appropriated]] an [[original]] [[logo]] of [[Couples for Christ]], and is actively using it to promote the image that FFL is still Couples for Christ. Also, FFL continues to use the name "''Couples for Christ Foundation for Family and Life''", although the [[Securities and Exchange Commission (Philippines)|Securities and Exchange Commission]] has denied the recognition of "CFC-FFL" due to the already-existing Couples for Christ [[organization]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Foundation for Family and Life, Inc.|title=FFL Not Recognized By SEC|url=http://www.cfc.gerimie.com/Archives/2007-10-12_fflregistration.pdf}}</ref>


FFL founder and head '''Frank Padilla''' (also former CFC Director) incorrectly refers to the original CFC as "CFC-GK" (emphasizing CFC's alleged focus on [[Gawad Kalinga]]), "CFC-IC" (referring to what FFL believes to be an unduly elected and unholy, 'sinful' [[Couples for Christ#The International Council|International Council]]), or "CFC-GMF" (the formal name of Couples for Christ, the ''CFC Global Mission Foundation''). <ref>{{cite web|last=Foundation for Family and Life, Inc.|title=Open Letters to the CFC Global Family from Frank Padilla|url=http://www.cfcffl.org/fap_letters/content.htm}}</ref>


CBCP President, Archbishop Lagdameo's Circular
Couples for Christ has filed a [[cease and desist]] order in the [[Securities and Exchange Commission (Philippines)|SEC]] for FFL to stop using the CFC name and other original CFC [[material]], as FFL has formally severed all ties with CFC.<ref>{{cite web|last=Couples for Christ Global Mission Foundation, Inc.|title=CFC Council Statement Nov. 19, 2007|url=http://www.cfc.gerimie.com/Archives/2007-11-19_CFCCouncil%20Statement.pdf}}</ref>
