I have a -- how do you say it... "mentally unstable" mother-in-law (doesn't everyone? Uh... I argue no.) that gave me this book years ago.

I have to say, that it was the dumbest thing I ever did to ignore it. When I DID read it, I repeatedly KICKED myself that I didn't read it when she gave it to me rather than waiting 7 years after the fact.

I can't tell you enough how wonderful both of these books are: The first, for the married, and the latter for the single.

I'm telling you-- if these books were given and made required reading in the Catholic schools, you would see an absolute transformation of society.

These books are the absolute nightmare of the feminist movement.

Considering the fact that I'm a traditional Roman Catholic young woman and I want a family AND I want to be a teacher AND open my own art school...I think that I can and there is nothing wrong with that. My mother and father have been together 2 years, 6 children, we're all Catholic and both my parents have careers. Absolutely nothing wrong with a woman wanting a career and a family.

Unless you are a single mother, you CANNOT be a successful career woman, let alone a good mother who provides for the emotional and psychological needs of her children.

There is a very good reason why women have STAYED at home, and the man instead has gone out to work and provide for his family unit. The children that have been raised by career-moms are the testament of their failure.

Personally I dont like the analogy of having the cake and eating it too. You get the cake you want and you eat it. But we're talking more than one cake here. Can you eat two WHOLE cakes? It's either one or the other, or half of each (which doesn't work in this case)

It's a different situation when a woman has to provide for the house in the absence of a man, but a woman who want's to have a successful career that takes her away from the home and her children, whom at the same time she wishes to raise into fine Catholics and citizens, IS PICKING 3 LARGE PEARS WITH 1 HAND.

Sophia, I'm glad you made it here!!!  Even though alot of the people might sound harsh, try your best not to feel contempt or rejection of the advice given. I used to think probably many of the same ways you do (I went to college, and later realized how perverted it was and how they brain wash all of us kids).

Catholic motherhood should be viewed as the pinnacle of the woman's life, but sadly today its about being equal to men. But really... are men and women really equal? We are different in many ways that compliment eachother actually.
