KobeScott8 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Don't worry what is meant to happen always happens in God's time. You'll find that guy if he's meant to be found. Come to the CRO (Carencro, Louisiana). There are lots of guys who have moral values and who know how to treat a woman right..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Uh, says who???? In the catechism (CCC 1603) it states that the vocation to marriage was instilled in [i]very nature of man/woman[/i]. So this is [i]human nature[/i] making marriage the default, [i]not society[/i]. Additionally, state of life is something that must be [i]freely chosen[/i] by someone. This is referred to also in CCC 2230. Yes, there are cases in which their are vocations to the "higher callings" (priesthood/religious life/consecrated virginity). But these still must be discerned and in the end [i]freely chosen[/i]. And part of the discernment process is determining whether or not you can handle the demands and responsibilities of the "higher calling", including the physical and emotional demands of celibacy.

Scofizzle Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 true but I think the point they were making was that the society we live in today makes you seem weird our outcasted if you choose or are called to single life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] OK, but please keep in mind that the drive to not be alone is not something that society invented; it is part of human nature. Some people who push the "single life" need to remember this and stop criticizing people who seek to be married and have families. I'm not accusing anyone on this website, just making people aware that there are some narrow-minded nutcase fanatics out there that I've run into. Lifelong celibacy (whether in a religious or non-religious state of life) is a [i]free choice[/i] that should only entered into after discerning whether or not one can handle it.

Fides_et_Ratio Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 is being "single" truly a vocation (outside of a consecrated religious?). My Christian marriage professor at FUS (well, in Austria) seemed to think it was not, and made a pretty good case. I agreed previously (so I guess that helped).
