Who cares? This idiot should keep it to himself. It is a matter for him, his future spouse, and God. I hate the idolatry that people have toward "professional" athletes.

I care. He is constantly bombarded by questions that have no relevance to his ability to throw a football. He is home schooled, speaks well of God, and is a virgin. Please pick which one of those three is a bad thing.

How is he an idiot? The personal insults that people throw around on this board really are hypocritical of those who profess to be Catholics.

You complain that some people are over-generalizing about chastity vows, but then you make generalizations about this board, based on a thread with a participation of 6 people (including yourself).

I know this board doesn't have thousands of members, but it certainly has a lot more regular participants than 6!

Quote from: spouse of Jesus

Virginity till marriage is a duty and obligation.
It is like vowing not to kill anybody or vowing not to steal.
That person has vowed not to commit fornication.
Vow is a promise that one makes under the pain of mortal sin.
It is like this:" I vow not to commit the mortal sin (of fornication) under the pain of mortal sin"

Yes. Perfectly stated.

The protestants are in darkness, more or less. Some of them who are of good will might try to make public vows of chastity, etc. but without the grace of the Truth Faith and Sacraments they will usually fail.

The Jews -- who own the media -- know this. That is why they give publicity to these famous protestants -- it helps their cause in the long run. After watching Britney Spears (and countless others) fall, after seeming to be so innocent, one is led to conclude that "it's impossible to stay pure".

See, at that point it's "mission accomplished" for the evil Jews who run the media and the world.

Remember, the Jews know human nature like no others. They were given this gift, because they were meant to be Apostles. (Note: God doesn't take back his gifts). They can see a fall coming a mile away. They read people like open books.

God is currently using the apostate Jews as a scourge for the apostate gentiles. How wise and how just God is! Blessed be His Holy Name.

Sounds like he was just answering a question, not making a vow.

A laudable statement.

We should recognize, however, that all celebrities, even football stars, are celebrities at the pleasure of our media controlled by anti-Christians.

Therefore we should consider the possibility that there is something in every sort of story like this that they see as being a mockery of Christianity. In this case, the way in which everyone is "shocked" by it.

Sort of the way that people were allowed to be "shocked" by Mel Gibson's movie - "shocked" by the Passion story in the Gospels, when ostensibly a very large percentage of this country are Christians.

The "celebrity culture" in this country is something that should be avoided. The celebrities themselves are victims of their status. Consider Mel Gibson.

That is it exactly, except Britney Spears never seemed to be innocent. Obviously you have never seen one of her early shows!

The trick was that she claimed to be a virgin -- or her psychotic, evil handlers claimed it for her, among whom are included HER PARENTS, who are Protestants -- while dressing like a Vegas hooker. The subliminal message being sent to girls, and to their mothers, was that sexy outfits are all in good fun, as long as we stay pure! MOM, can I wear these thigh-high boots? Don't be so uptight, all the other girls at school are doing it! Well, okay, honey, I don't want to be a spoilsport... You know what happens next.

Seriously, the way I've seen young girls dressing around here is so appalling that when I read threads on CathInfo about the inappropriateness of pants on women, I just think "I WISH I had some pairs of pants to hand out." Communist plot or not... Sheesh.

Looking for anything positive in the media is like being a Novus Ordo Catholic stretching your mind into a pretzel in order to find anything "orthodox" in your priest's sermon. "Wait -- did he just say he was against abortion? See, he must be a Catholic!" ( Or what if he wants that child to be raised in Novus Ordo and thus fodder for Satan? That is why this is the one area where Ratzinger agrees with traditionalists, because he knows in today's climate that most kids have no chance ).

I am not dark and cynical, but this is the world that I am living in. And until people see the truth, or Christ comes back, this madness will go on and on and on.

As for this Tim Tebow guy, he's just another sports star, and sports are dumb. If "Tim Tebow" was a Mormon and was going to stay "pure" until his marriage, knowing that that may be the first of several "marriages," would you find this laudable?

To take an example that WOULD be positive, what if one of these Disney stars I talked about, though far from a virgin, became a traditional Catholic and began to talk about the mind-control practiced on them at Disney? Now that would be positive.
