  • I honestly don't see the problem with having ordinary jurisdiction granted for marriages by the local ordinary.  One positive is that it eliminates the temptation of going to the local diocese and obtaining an easy, guaranteed annulment (due to lack of form) during rough patches.   I know of cases where this happened, and there was nothing the abandoned spouse could do about it.  It did not end well, and if the annulment wasn't an option they would have remained together.  So, on the practical level, and considering human weakness, this is one good that ordinary jurisdiction provides.  Just my two cents.
    Seriously? Since when is it hard to get an annulment in the Novus Ordo church? 
    For what doth it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul? Or what exchange shall a man give for his soul?

  • Some of it might have to do with the parents' attitudes, but the bigger part, I surmise, has to do with the daughters hanging around worldlings ... which, again, is due to parents' neglect.  Girls are lemmings, and if their friends are into boys, then so will they be.  If their popular peers have to have a certain phone, or outfit, or like a certain boy, then they too absolutely must follow suit.  They are more influenced by their peers than their parents.  By the time they're in their teens, they like to distance themselves from their parents, are embarrassed by them, etc.  They are absolutely driven by a need for social status ... as defined by their peers.  Women/girls tend to go after boys who have had many girlfriends ... because they would in winning the boy over prove their superiority over their rivals ... whereas boys/men would prefer girls/women who have not been around the block or were somehow intrinsically attractive or beautiful.

  • The girls (and their mothers) are/were boy crazy because they have no self esteem, and they gauge their sense of self worth, their beauty, from the reaction they get from boys/men.

    I disagree.  They gauge their self-worth, etc. based on the perception of their female peers.  Boys in fact are often mere pawns in this exercise.  If they get a cute/popular boy, then they feel superior to their female peers and gain social status.  Half the time the boy himself is an after-thought.

    Even among older women, we've had discussion about why women want to go out dressed well (or even immodestly).  It's because of the reaction they would get or not get from their female peers ... and not primarily to get the attention of men.  And girls/women can be absolutely ruthless to one another, ridiculing and mocking their peers if they do not measure up somehow (bad hair-style, poor outfit, wrong cellphone, or ugly shoes).  My daughter has been mocked for her "big nose", for her "ugly shoes," etc. etc. by worldling girls who barely knew her.  Her nose is not that large, and her shoes are rather elegant by any standard, but these were used as weapons by peer who were jealous of her for other reasons.  If a woman were to go to a grocery store dressed a bit like a slob, they know they'll get the looks and they can practically read other womens' minds ("look at her" ... "she's not ashamed to go out like that?")  Men, on the other hand, unless a woman were an over-the-top slob, would barely take notice; they just don't care as much.

  • Very few men would ever say or think, "I'm really attracted to her because of how popular she is with the boys."?  They see the girl (either her looks or her personality) and either find her attractive or do not find her attractive.  For women, the boy's social status (and wealth) is an almost-intrinsic quality of attractiveness.  Girls DO find themselves attractive to boys for no other reason sometimes than that they are popular.

  • Saint John Bosco observed that peer pressure and human respect were the most dangerous enemies for young people. He said that even if you raised the children in the most pious and holy environment, when human respect came into play the boys (his orphans in the school) would surrender to the unholy group. This is frightening. The above is from his biography published by the Salesians, New Rochelle, NY.

    I agree that most people who apply for an annulment will get it, but for those married in the Society the process is greatly simplified.  It's just a matter of signing a paper or two and it's granted right away, due to a defect of form.  That can be a temptation during a rocky time, or when the husband turns 40 (whichever comes first).

  • ENOUGH discussion about the Pope question. It is off-topic and belongs in the "Crisis in the Church" subforum ONLY.

    I think I'll go back in this thread and delete some posts which violate the above rule. See you in a bit.

    EDIT: Ok, I'm back.  This is a VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC, much more practical and useful (and hence, important) than the Pope question, which is neither here nor there unless you're a Bishop, cleric or have a special calling. For all of us laymen (which is the majority of CathInfo) we just have to keep the Faith and be Traditional Catholics, completely rejecting Vatican II and its de-facto new religion. Do this, and we have a chance of saving our souls. Do it not, and our souls have a 100X greater chance of losing the Faith and being lost.

    The Pope question is a complete red herring for Traditional Catholics. We have much bigger fish to fry, as demonstrated and discussed in this thread! SSPX and other Trad Catholics are losing their sons and daughters to the World and to satan -- but they don't care, as long as they think they have the Pope question figured out! Madness!

    I've pointed out many times that Sedevacantism offers zero practical benefit over and above the immense benefits of the Traditional Movement itself. Now whether it causes any harm seems to be open for debate.

    I personally go so far as to say that the exact nature of the Crisis in the Church is a bona fide supernatural mystery, one that literally can't be known, achieved or grasped by human reason alone, without the aid of Divine Revelation -- and God hasn't revealed it yet! That is to say, if all the best minds and theologians in Tradition got together for a 1-month conference, they wouldn't be able to figure out the Crisis in the Church, unless God joined their little conference.

    This is my perspective, as one who has been in the actual Traditional movement for over 4 decades.

    If you want to discuss these points, please head to a new thread I've created for this purpose. This thread needs to stay on topic -- it's a broad and rich enough topic already, I assure you!

    I think you 2 are both correct.  It depends on the woman/girl.  Just like some men are motivated by money, some by love, some by power, and some by fun...so women are motivated in different ways too.  And at different times in their life.

  • I was at some ones house for rosary and a meal.  The young ones including girls who were home schooled and attend Traditional Mass don’t want to pray.   I was shocked that one girl had a mannish hair cut with colored hair.  It’s like they are rebelling.  They later left to go to movies.  Some of these young girls lack domestic skills.  Go to trad chapel functions in our area and it’s usually older people doing everything.  Yes, young girls act immature and lazy.    I was upset to see an older gentleman shoveling snow instead of a young man at once chapel.  I was shocked when a trad girl went on a trip with her boyfriend.  The biggest problem is the internet, tv and cell phones.

    Sounds like we go to the same chapel.

    You are correct. We are all three correct.  

    The key is that "they have no self esteem, they gauge their self-worth, etc. based on the perception of others". Parents must work to develop the self esteem of their daughters while they are little, and nip this "he's so cute, he's my crush" at the bud. Unfortunately at my chapel only like two families have done it. The rest are in line for the next out of wedlock pregnancy.

  • The "perception of their peers" is still based on the reactions from the boys/men. I think the idea that women dress for each other and their claim that they dress for each other is fueled by feminists who do not want to admit they care about the men and what they think after all. It's less hypocritical to claim it's for each other. But without the men there's nothing to be competitive about so it's a false charade.

    Getting a "cute boy" gains social status and makes her feel superior precisely because he's a cute boy. His being higher on the totem pole makes her higher as his partner. It still revolves around the male and how his status can satisfy her vanity.

  • It's not just feminists that say "women are competitive with each other for status". This is dogma in MGTOW and "red-pill" anti-feminist circles. And those circles are 100% men.

  • I had to look up MGTOW. Interesting. They don't look like they are balanced either. Any solution to feminism that isn't rooted in the Catholic Faith is ultimately just going to create more problems. My theory is that this idea comes from feminists but maybe that's incorrect. Maybe it comes from elsewhere. But I think it's false wherever it originates. Or maybe not false, but doesn't go back far enough to the root. 

    It's possible MGTOW are tainted by feminism and don't realize it. We know how long it takes to detox it even with all the graces at our disposal.
