Monsignor Pope Ping!
Great video BTW — your laugh for the day.
So young men prefer pornography to a REAL relationship with a women. Seems folks all want FaceBook friends and not real ones, text rather than talk to others....this is the age of “virtual” lives....sad, but true...to a point. When will they see how empty that life really is?
There was an article on First Things a while ago about the sexual economics of marriage.
In short, it is now a luxury good. The immediate cost of a lower to lower middle class woman with children getting married to a working man is huge. Most women don’t want to lose that.
Also, most men have access to other sources of sexual gratification, and see the costs of marriage as to high. When you can at any time loose most of what you own and any access to the children, may get cautious. When you see your friends go through it left and right, many stop playing altogether.
Which is why many single women in New York can’t even get a date, let alone a relationship.
“The bottom line is, it’s never good for anyone, or for civilization as a whole, when huge numbers opt out of or find no access to our most fundamental building block: the traditional family. We must save traditional marriage if we stand any chance of saving our dying civilization.”
While this is generally true, it is not true in the end times as individual soul growth is so accelerated that every human being is our brother and sister. We have only one Father and He is within us.
This is why Paul mentioned that it is better to remain single. As growth accelerates when we are not utilizing another soul to create our own wholeness.
It used to be when marriage was honored more and women forced men to wait until marriage before engaging in sexual intercourse, men wanted to get married.
Add to that the extreme bias of marital law against men right now.
Amen.
The American family began its unraveling with the dawn of NO-FAULT divorce...easy, split 50-50, no blame, no shame and that's all she wrote.
End welfare and contraceptives. Criminalize abortion. End no-fault divorce. End the EPA and HUD and end Federal participation in education and medicine and insurance. The family and a healthy birth rate will return and there will be a good start on retiring the national debt.
