  • This attitude of women, also, applies to their stance on prenups and their demand for a State marriage license, while they ignore the fact that true marriage is still conferred by the Church and seen by the Eyes of God, absent a State marriage license.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it, again, women's opposition to prenups isn't truly premised off of Catholic teaching and tradition, but rather a distorted, social-engineered, ingrained, feminist ego to resist anything that neutralizes her position over men.

    A woman who rejects a prenup is an ominous sign that she will be disobedient to her husband after they get married, and that will be the LEAST of his problems.

    No doubt you will say it again and again, but it does not get any more true no matter how many times you repeat it.

    There are legitimate concerns that planning what one will do in the case of divorce is not compatible with the Catholic teaching that divorce is never an option.  Unable to address these concerns, you make up motives that you attribute to those who oppose prenups. There is no basis whatsoever for your claims.

  • Croix, can you give an example of what your prenup would say?  Maybe if we all read it, we could make a more informed decision.  

    Secondly, you keep saying that women who refuse one are x, y, z.  Ok, but how many women (trad catholic) do you know who have refused one?  I’ve never even heard of the topic being brought up, in trad catholic circles.  

    Obviously there are many women “of the world” who have been offered one, and refused, but they live by different rules than true Catholics.

    You just described your own maneuvering the whole time and projected onto me. I've given plenty of facts (basis) for my claims.

    Facts:
    1) Courts exponentially favor women over men; and courts are subversive & legislate from the bench
    2) There is a much higher probability of "divorce" than a marriage lasting "until death do us part"
    3) When these "divorces" occur, the courts give the equity & houses to women, and women are given at least half of all other assets, wealth and savings, despite the man acquiring & building all of it or having owned it before they even got married.
    4) "Trad Catholics" are not immune to the epidemic of "divorces". Plenty of "divorces" among trads.

    Nothing you proposed about what Catholics should do is a true aegis (insurance plan or defense) for men to protect themselves from women preying on everything men built and acquired on their own. One of human conditions the Catholic Church warns us about is people failing what they should do, and teaching us to take measures to protect ourselves from the enemy - spiritual or temporal - who do the opposite of what they should do

    Thus, the only viable option to protect men, who are considering marriage, is to get a prenup (and, even better, to reject getting a State marriage license).  

    Nothing you have proposed is a solution to protect men. Everything you have stated is based off of a Catholic utopia that doesn't exist, nor will it ever exist, before Christ returns and establishes His Heavenly kingdom on earth. But that's what (you) Jєωs are good at, right? They draft up those utopias and sell them to gullible people. Look at communism, socialism, "social justice", "equality", etc. They offer no real solutions to help or protect people, rather they subject them to more deceit & ills.

    Another subjective opinion with no substance justifying the rejection of prenups. You haven't posted one Catholic citation to support your argument.

    You’re not distinguishing between CIVIL divorce (which the church allows in certain circuмstances) and divorce/re-marriage, which is never allowed.  

    God tells us that murder is a grave offense.  Does that mean it doesn’t happen?  Does that mean we shouldn’t take precautions to protect ourselves in dangerous situations?  

    God tells us that divorce/theft/re-marriage is a grave offense.  Does that mean it doesn’t happen?  Does that mean we shouldn’t take precautions to protect oneself from this evil?

    If one commits the sin of murder the state steps in and sends the person to jail, as they should.  Also, people have the right to self-defense and the right to kill one who is threatening their life. 

    If one commits the sin of divorce (assuming it's not Church sanctioned, which should be rare), the state does NOT step in and help achieve justice; they promote and encourage injustice and mockery of a sacrament and a contract.  Does the spouse who is being divorced unjustly not have a right to self-defense and a protection of what is rightly theirs?

    In the same way that guns/weapons deter criminals and promote safety, one could argue that a prenup could deter a temptation to destroy a marriage, which would be a great thing, and could ensure that spouses “work out their differences” and thus save them from hell.

    I can see this both ways.  Civil divorces do not exist in the eyes of God and of the Church, but there could be cases of separation as permitted under the circuмstances allowed by the Church (adultery, abuse, etc.) ... which could result also in a civil divorce for various legal and economic reasons.

    We don't actually know that a prenup deters temptation.  It is just as possible that a couple would hit a rough spot in their marriage and the prenup would make divorce seem like a better option. 

    And how does one know at the time of the prenup which spouse will be divorce unjustly and need protection?

    It's simple. A woman gets absolutely nothing in the wake of a "divorce" she files against her husband. No house, no assets, no wealth, no car, no savings account. Also, barring any provable threat to the safety of their children, the kids stay with him.

    The only thing she keeps is what the husband gave her in the marriage.  He shouldn't take anything back that he gave or bought for her. "Benedict Arnolds" are no good.

    In Croix's example, assuming that the Church did not authorize a CIVIL divorce for the valid reasons of violence/cheating, then if the spouse who sought the sinful divorce was not rewarded with financial assets, this would no doubt deter one from exiting the marriage for frivolous reasons.

    Duh, you don't.  It would be written equally to the benefit/protection of both spouses.

    I could imagine a prenup being written that specifically said that it only applied to civil divorce and that the couple would still be married in the eyes of God.  That would address my main objection.

    Could you be more specific, please?  I cannot think of how to do that.

    I don't mean to be rude, but this should have been obvious from the start of this whole discussion.  There's nothing that a prenup could do to change a sacrament.  The entire conversation is based around the notion that civil divorces are financially unjust to men.  It has nothing to do with the sacrament, or with promoting re-marriage.  The purpose of a prenup is to prevent court-approved, unjust theft from men, should a woman initiate a sinful divorce.  It would also include language which would deter men from spousal abuse and cheating and if a woman was given a church-approved reason to separate from her husband due to violence, then she would be financially taken care of.

    Well, that's all it COULD apply to is civil divorce.  Let's say one of the couple becomes abusive and they separate as permitted by the Church.  Would it be necessarily bad to pursue civil divorce to protect the abused party from the other legally and financially?  I don't see it ... so long as any risk of scandal is avoided.
