Quote from: SpiritusSanctus

It appears that some people on the "18 year old daughter wants to be a marine or cop" thread disagreed with my statement that women who intend to marry shouldn't go to college. I think this topic deserves its own thread.

My argument is that, if married women are supposed to stay home while their husbands bring home the money, why waste time going to college?

What do others here say?

Thank you, Spiritus, for stating the truth.

Obviously, women should not go to college.

The vital, vital, vital point is that the truth about this and all of these related issues about Feminism should be

obvious to every Catholic.

However, it does not seem to be obvious to every Catholic.

These things really are obvious.

I fear that bad will on the part of many so-called traditional Catholics stops them from embracing the truth.

Even some traditional Catholic girls risk eternal fire and damnation because they are tricked by the evil cult of

Feminism.

Pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary to see the truth and to accept it.

We should all do that.

Dear Catholic girls and women, Pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the graces to understand and to

accept the truth about the evil ideas of Feminism.

Dear Catholic men, Pray to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the graces to understand and defend the truth

about the evil ideas of Feminism.

If I'd been able to choose the way things worked out in our family, it would look something like this:

I'd have been raised Traditional Catholic and so would my husband.

We would either have been farmers and lived out in the country, fulling self-sustaining....but we would have been within a reasonable distance to a traditional Catholic parish...OR,

We would have lived in a city that had a traditional Catholic parish.

We would have had a large family of homeschooled children. The parish community would provide tons of masses, tons of volunteer activities and tons of clubs and groups to provide myself and my family contact and interaction with fellow traditional Catholics.

Instead we are a small family. I did not become Catholic until after we married (in 1990) and didn't learn about Tradition until around 2002. We moved from a larger city to a tiny town (pop. 1,200) in 1998; and then another slightly larger town "next door" to the first (pop. 3,500) in 2007.

There is only Novus Ordo parishes in this county. Our neighborhood parish is n.o. and is filled with working mothers and publicly schooled kids.

We live in the nearly bankrupted state of California....businesses have failed everywhere .. and very noticeably in our town and in this county,. The ONLY thing going on around here is the schools, some small businesses and the local community college which is very limited in course selection due to lack of funding.

We can't sell our home because we owe more on it than it's "worth" and we can't rent it out because our mortgage is high.

What would you suggest for my daughter in this situation? Our son found his way out of the limitations by joining the fire dept. He's been to Academy, and he's got most of his certifications and his EMT. Only problem? He has yet to find a paying fire fighting job...and he's been applying all around for 2 years.

The local community college and maybe a part-time job, are her only options that I can see at this point to get out of the house. I don't have children for her to help me with ...and other than volunteering at the local church, I can't see any other options for her.

Any thoughts? What would YOU do?

Dear Mrs. Z,

Do you attend the Novus Ordo?

If so, you should stop.

It is idolatrous.

That alone could cause discord and problems in your Family.

If you make the mistake of seeing a psychiatrist, he will only convince you to leave your daughter to join up.

Please do not seek advice from such people. You are obviously tempted to do so out of desperation.

If you temporarily enable your PM feature- you could PM me.

Then I could give you some important advice by PM.

Perhaps you are unaware of the PM feature.

For some reson it is not on your account. Or perhaps you got rid of it by choice.

You could always temporarily enable it for a day or two.

And you do seem to be very much in need of help.

I do not want to discuss you Family problems in public.

God Bless you, Mrs. Z.

Yours, Sede Catholic.

In the old days meetings with suitors would have been arranged. Might be hard to do these days.

This all sounds great, and I actually agree with you in theory, but not regarding practical necessity. True enough: college is a cesspool of evil that any Saint would have difficulty navigating through. Yet, not everyone meets Mr. or Mrs. Right at 18: I met and married my husband when we were in our early 30's - it just didn't happen before that. I was grateful I had a skill that provided me with income to eat and pay my necessities. If I COULD HAVE stayed in college, I would be able to find a decent job now that my children are grown; but, I cannot because no one wants to hire a broken down old musician without a teaching degree for anything.

Necessity dictates I help my husband before we loose the house. I post on a borrowed computer that I do not always have access to.

I found eating is good. I gave up much when I home schooled, and that was great with me! Right now, I wish I had that diploma. My husband works 2 jobs that pay little.

When was the last time any of us was in need of a nurse? A doctor? Dental Assistant? Paralegal? Teacher? Seamstress? Waitress? Some of these careers require college; other are the result of not going to college, but we all employ these from time to time.

Marriage means babies: YES! If one is fortunate enough to marry, and marry a man with means.

My point is, God does not want us to sit around and grab the first $$$ available male we see just to fill the bill of baby making. Children come from love and learn love.
Women are not rabbits! And I agree Feminists are self-centered and go against God's Will. But, we must be prudent. Women need to be educated and even STAND UP to DEFEND THE FAITH when called upon.

You all might as well arrange marriages like the old days when people were miserable and often took it out on their children. Today, people divorce becaue they marry without waiting for the appropriate mate. Who suffers???
