If you think "trad Catholic" marriages are immune to the world, then you are naïve. There are plenty of "trad Catholic" marriages that end up in infidelity and "divorce".

You should know better by now than to say I am naïve. What you wrote is strawman, for I don't not think that anyone here ever said that "trad Catholic marriages are immune to the world". As a matter of fact I had just finished writing a new thread that is related to this "trad" marriage, before I saw this posting of yours.

See my thread: Trad Young People Living in Brackish Waters

This land is a corpse that is still warm. It is a wasteland. The people here do not want to be saved. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't force him to drink. The people here are done. We are ripe to be conquered and extinguished forever.

Laramie, resist the temptation to give into cynicism. There's plenty of rejects that fit your description above (and most of those are from broken homes due to the baby boomer generation. God can and has mended many families), but not all of america is doomed. Still plenty of good people out there, you just probably don't meet them because they're busy working, at home raising their family, or at church.

My statement is not emotional cynicism, actually. I truly see the fate of the United States to be a dark one. For starters, the United States is an empire at this point, not a country. It has evolved far beyond what it was originally designed to be. You can't govern jackals with rules written for tigers.

I see two fates for Americans at this stage. #1 This nation balkanizes and experiences a series of cινιℓ ωαrs. That's the best of the two. #2 We become like Haiti or Rhodesia, in which the nation is overrun with barbarity and we become irrelevant.

Our people are dying.

You'll find a few in the US, but they won't be American and probably not Catholic, either. They will be the adult daughters of Asians, Arabs, Indians, Africans for whom culture dictates an unmarried daughter lives with her parents.
Personally, I'm glad I never married or had children. I see what has happened to those of my age group, 55-65, all divorced, raising their grandkids of assorted unmarried children with multiple partners, all have lost the Faith, most follow no religion whatsoever, a chaotic, charityless mess. I moved out at 18, female or not, it was expected. Wanted when young to be a teaching or medical sister, but by then, the convents were empty, just nuns in pantsuits with bad hair, into occultish trash or silly political causes. I'm nearly 60, too late for sisterhood, fair health, working long hours to survive. I'll be satisfied to die at any time, so long as I'm in a state of grace.

I can relate to a lot of what you say. I am disillusioned w/ the Church also.. deeply
I also don't want to live much longer (paraphrase, I know). I have seen and experienced a lot of... just bad stuff
I read somewhere (but have also had this thought myself) that people shouldn't have children bc most people end up in hell.. It is very easy to end up there... Soemtimes it doesn't seem like God helps people much, either... just saying... not accusing him..
I mean, if enough people in your life do evil to you .. you start thinking God must not be so good.. so loving after all and yet that is illogical bc it isn't God doing it.. (just allowing it but that seems like the same deal)

If there's anything I can do to help.. let me know

I know I should probably never marry

for one thing, it seems marriage itself leads to... well, here's an example

I knew, just KNEW that when Brad and Angie tied the knot, that was the beginning of the end, they were headed for divorce.

How did i know that?

there's just something about marriage.. it can feel like a trap and etc... and if there is no agape love there, no REAL commitment...

and Jolie is supposed to be getting married again?? geez.. we see how these Hollywood folks value commitment

(not saying I am any better. But at least I know to stay single)
