This is a good overview:
He basically gives Theophrastus's argument against marriage / for celibacy, and Candace seems clueless (and also doesn't seem to realize that women generally benefit more more marriage than men do):
St. Jerome, in bk. 1 of his Against Jovinianus §47, gives the only source for the philosopher Theophrastus's On Marriage, "worth its weight in gold," in which he answers the question
The philosopher Theophrastus was a Greek pagan writing from both a pagan's perspective and from the perspective of a philospher who put celibacy before marriage and children in order to focus on his love for higher learning. St. Jerome uses him as an example to show how even a pagan philosopher saw the wisdom in staying single so as to avoid all the distractions and burdens that a wife and children would bring. St. Jerome writes:
"When Theophrastus thus discourses, are there any of us, Christians, whose conversation is in heaven and who daily say Philippians 1:23 I long to be dissolved, and to be with Christ, whom he does not put to the blush?" In other words, if this pagan is prepared to give up all for his studies, how much more should we as Christians be willing to give up all
for Christ. For such a state
- all for Christ - was indeed a higher state (in refutation of Jovinianus who declared the two states equal) than marriage where a man's focus is divided and distracted.
Context is everything. Clearly St. Jerome's argument against marriage for celibacy hinges on Christ;
staying single in order to dedicate ones heart and mind to and for Christ. Staying single so you can live a selfish life without responsibilities and without having to consider other people, is not what either St. Jerome or the pagan Theophratus were talking about.
So, the million dollar question - is Fuentes aversion to marriage so that he can dedicate all to Christ or so that he can dedicate all to himself?
It's quite possible that Candace wasn't quite so clueless as you accused.
