As in, THE Beguines?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beguines_and_Beghards

Fr. Iscara taught us about these movements... Wikipedia is not God, nor does it tell the whole story in this case. What I remember about them, is these groups believed that once you were "confirmed in the Spirit" or something similar, everything you willed would be good. Essentially, you couldn't sin. At least de-facto.

Why is it that so many women are asɛҳuąƖ these days? Completely uninterested in sex, repulsed by it even, in any context, even in the context of marriage? Is there something in the water that only women are drinking? Maybe they should share it with the men, as they don't seem to have this problem with normal sɛҳuąƖ attraction. Their bodies work as God designed. "Be fruitful and multiply". I'm not trying to be mean, and it's almost certainly not your fault, but there is technically something wrong with you. The only question is what. It could be estrogen in the water supply. It could be something related to why you turned down a religious vocation. How did you determine the religious life wasn't your vocation by the way?

What is this a rebuttal of? Has any post in this entire thread even hinted that marriage was above the religious life or consecrated virginity? St. Paul made that pretty clear in his epistle. This strikes me as another example of online people arguing with themselves, or against a ghost.

I'm female in my mid 20s. It has been a while since I was deemed not having a religious vocation by discernment. And ever since then I feel lost. I started to search "in the market" because I felt that was what I was supposed to do- find someone and get married as soon as possible before the traditional men think I am too old to be a good wife material. And I started to talk with the only traditional man that had interest in me. But sometimes I ponder in my heart, I don't feel that much drawn to the ideal of getting married and having children. Sometimes I cry at night feeling sad that I was not able to join a religious order and serve Our Lord solely with all my life, and now I have to either work outside of home to support myself and living alone which has detrimental impact to my both mental, spiritual and physical health, or force myself to get married to someone and live a married life that I am not drawn to (yet?).
Actually I think if I have a choice, I may even like the idea of Josephite marriage (which I believe most people here are against), or even simply moving in with another like-minded single traditional catholic girl(s) near an active catholic community, support each other and live a life similar to religious life. But it seems totally impractical and impossible to find someone like that .

99 out of 100 elementary school aged girls, ages 7-10, don't look forward to childbirth either. But give it time, maturity, and the right man who she loves, and pretty much every woman is willing to have children.
