Clelia,

You say that you are not a Feminist.

You possibly genuinely mean that.

But you have imbibed Feminist principles.

You are simply wrong in some of what you have posted on this thread.

Try to see the truth.

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

Pray to God the Holy Ghost for guidance.

I do hope that you come to understand what God really intends for girls and women in life.

God Bless you, Clelia.

I am NOT a feminist!

I went to college in the 70's, and I AGREE that it CAN be a cesspool of filth and erroneous teaching to boot.

YET - the subject here seems to have drifted from the quality of college in general to women not being given the opportunity to answer God's call for her which may not be to marry just anybody at 18. There are schools that are better than others, and good and holy Catholic women have been able to learn to be excellent Catholic nurses, doctors, social workers, AND good mothers and NOT ALL WOMEN WHO GO TO COLLEGE are putting off marriage and family - THAT is the point: not all women loose their souls IF they are fortified with The True Faith and PRAYER. I am not addressing those women who are faint of heart. weak in faith, or have not the True Religion.

You men make it sound like women are not worth educating, rather than give rational caveats and warnings that indeed would be helpful to readers here, instead of one-size pantyhose fits all.

There are the notions of ideal and real. In the real world, not all women find AN ACCEPTABLE MATE either at 18, 20, or 30, if at all, because there are many more pagan jerks walking the earth than good Traditional Catholic Men, like YOU all profess to be.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were more men like YOU for a Traditional Catholic young lady to choose from. Otherwise, she must learn to support herself, perhaps help her future husband even if only part-time while raising the children, and maybe she will not find a suitable and loving mate at all. Maybe she will choose to be chaste and not selfish, but serving in her field. Maybe many realities that do not fit your one-way thinking.

What about saints who did not copulate? Or separate like St Nilus and his wife to be married religious after having (at least as far as I can remember reading) two children, one went with him to a monastery, and the other with mom, I believe.

Reality; not idealism.

God Bless you all.

BTW: my Father's soul is a work in progress like you, me, any everyone else. What are you trying to do, challenge his Faith because a woman Doctor saved His life by the grace of God? Mighty uppity.

No that was not my point. My point was closer to that of Queen Blanche's famous statement about mortal sin to King St. Louis IX. You said that she saved his life, but my thought was, what about his soul, did she save that? I'd also warn about being uncritical about modern technology and how it is used to upset the natural, creational order.

The example of the Good Samaritan shows that it would be up to the injured man to save his own soul; it's not The GS's job.

My Dad is responsible for his own soul. Not the doctor.

BTW: we are using technology right now....

I am outta here - time to snooze.

I shan't return to this discussion - I have to return to my duties as helpmate.

May The Lord Bless and keep you all.

But we can still be critical of it and the effects that it can have on people.

True. Anything (and any concept) can be used properly or abused, don't you agree?

Good night, sir.
