Exactly. This individual has such a weird attitude because in most of the church history, Catholics celebrate converts. It's a heroic act to withdraw oneself from a sinners family. But some weird "trads" speak like devils themselves to insult or judge converts "because he/she didn't have a Catholic family" with a better-than-thou attitude. I wonder if he goes to Mass with his father. Because even if he does, it shows us how that's not helping either.

See what I just posted above. 

No one is dismissing the heroic virtue of being trad when you're family is not. MOST trads are in that boat.

But we're talking about readiness to receive a Sacrament. And to fulfill its duties well over one's entire life.

Doesn't your latter example prove your former point wrong? It almost seems like you DON'T want a girl that has a good relationship with her father so that she will not run back to him? I'm not saying that's what I think but your response makes no sense.

You have completely misunderstood her. And I don't even know the woman.

She's talking about when the father is a bad man. Not a good man.

You see good men still if not traditional. I spoke to one father who says that he always says to his daughters when they are about to get married... "Dont ever come back here. " . What he means is not literal. But that she is starting a new life with that man. Not a backup. So she has to put up with it when things get tough,

Most women (in the west today), are too weak to truly understand this, which is not surprising because they are women, but its sad because their fathers are not saying this to them.

Stepping back from all this, I personally find it incredible that I have to explain stuff that every single person in the world knew before the 1950s even if they were not Catholic.

People really need to learn how to implement this principle properly:

"The first rule for interpreting an author's texts is not to interpret them in such a way as to make him contradict himself."

⁃ Fr. Garrigou Lagrange, O.P, "Our Saviour and His Love for Us", p. 44, 1951


I would highly encourage people to save it in their notes, it may be useful one day!

It seems to me 99% of misunderstandings between people, and even in theological matters, is due to not understanding, and implementing that principle.

The Church Fathers would have never been able to ascertain the true meaning of Scripture unless they used this principle as a guide.

Anyway thanks for the advice, so compliment on things they wear, and ask about thoughts on sermon, music and hobbies. Let's try those soon.
