Can I just say that Phatmass gets all kinds of crazy after dark?  There should be a warning label. 

 

what can we say? we're all good Catholics and drinking on all the days that end in "y"!

Why don't you come to Chicago and say it to my face you little punk? 

 

James weighs around 463 pounds, and has to be moved to the bathroom using a crane. He's certainly not little.

 

But according to his prison history, he is, in fact, a punk.

 

 

But he ain't a virgin.

You're not wrong to express your desire to start a family.  The way you post about it seems very flawed, though, and that's what people bristle at.  Like I said before, it sounds to me like you see a future wife as a means to an end, and not a person.   

 

And the unequally yoked verse is balanced by the verse talking about unbelieving spouses being sanctified through believing ones.  

 

If you recall the historical context of the verse regarding believing spouses sanctifying unbelieving ones, I believe that was in the same chapter where St. Paul established the "Pauline privilege", and that referred to a married couple that was unbelieving, and one spouse then became a believer, which could cause problems in a marriage. 

 

And yes, non-faithful spouses can cause faith problems for a believing spouse.  For one thing, if the non-faithful spouse wants to use ABC or attend an illegal wedding or "committment ceremony" that would cause scandal, especially if it were to give a bad example to the kids, or not attend Mass, or sabotage orthodox Catholic values from being instilled into the kids, that would be detrimental to Catholic family life.  To insinuate that God would call someone to risk their soul (this is in response to FP, aka "the fetus above me" as JLOL once referred to him) and to call it disrespect toward women is truly insane and illogical.

Let's all agree not to tell dUSt about my mouthguard comment.  

 

 

Although I do find Norseman's refusal to answer the question interesting.

I'm sorry to inform you of this, but our vocations will come with so many soul-threatening situations that we will sometimes have nowhere to duck for cover except in Jesus' arms. Every vocation comes with its difficult temptations, even if your vocation is to marry the most immaculate and God-fearing Catholic woman since the Mother of God was born. You cannot run from temptations, and you cannot blame giving into temptations on your "pagan jezebel" of a wife. Her not wanting to raise the children Catholic and things such as that are serious and valid concerns -- but that is why you are supposed to discuss and communicate before you say "I do". God is not going to call you to a vocation that dooms your soul. He doesn't work like that, and to insinuate that shows a clear distrust of His love and plan for your soul.

No, I just first saw it after posting a logical comment. 

 

But, if you want my answer:
