I'm not sure how to sugar coat this, and surely others will disagree, but I don't see the point of risking having children who inherit your blindness to a greater or lesser extent. That would make life harder on them and the whole family. Remaining single may help you to serve the Traditional Catholic community all the more with your lawyer skills.

I always try to remember the CathInfo members in my prayers and at Mass, especially those who have asked for prayers.

My visual issue is not inheritable so I don't get your point here

First and foremost, don't marry a non-Catholic.

My advice is to try, as much as possible within the constraints of your condition, is to try and network as much as you can. Most people traditionally met within social circles, either friendship or familial. Yes there are options online nowadays but I'm sure as you've seen it can be rather difficult. Do you have trad friends? There are quite a few "mover and shaker" types who know a lot of people and can get you to invited to places to meet and make friends with other trads as well as women. Even if you find a way (friend driving, public transport etc) to meet new people (men and women) only a few times a year, you're going to have a lot more success than being locked into the same place.

It sounds very basic, but even just this can do a lot of help as well as also being able to generally meet more people which I think would also be helpful given your stated family circuмstances.

It's probably better to not get married based on the information you gave.

My opinion.

You sound like a great guy, but temporally speaking, it's probably not a great idea. Maybe a serious priest would be the best person to ask.

Further to this, do you go on Pilgrimages or conferences? These are usually organised well in advance, well advertised and draw lots together who wouldn't normally meet. I know countless couples who met on a pilgrimage. I understand you can't drive, but with that notice surely you can figure out a way to attend? Not to mention the spiritual and other benefits of partaking in these things.

Do not worry about finding a wife yet, first focus on establishing your career. Once your financially stable and have a reasonably secure job, then focus on finding a wife. Plus, you will be able to prove to the ladies that you are able to provide for a family despite your handicap. Also, focus on building up your Faith, Our Lord will help you find a good wife if He wills it for you.
