Discreet recruiting tactics?
Lemme gather my forces...
He's got two blackbelts.
I say that too Rick.
I think it's another case of ambiguity
concerning jargon... perhaps, because
I'm in agreement with PW's reasoning.
I wouldnt be a bit surpised to find that, but I dont
understand your point. Would you rather marry
a humanist who 'APPEARS to have less pride (because
you see, a secular humanist, who doesnt have GOD
inside, has ... what inside? Pride.
Or would you rather marry someone who has the
same spirit, and you can be one in that sense?
I've done both. I married a christian, then
backslidden remarried a non Christian, who
didnt mind the Christianity part of me , long
as I didnt try to push it onto him.
Mixed marriages are painful at best.
Sweetie, you know what i would say.Daughter informed me that son (who still lives home) has
a girl, and her name is Mary, and he's not mentioned it
to me cos "didnt feel like playing 20 questions".
That was mostly a joke, and imo he didnt tell me
because she's Catholic (I found out later).
I said, "Jay" (not his real name) One question sweety,
not twenty, what church does she go to?
He said St such and such.
I said, "what the @#$% were you thinking".
(Subtle and supportive wasnt i?)
He said, well she goes to "insert name of emergent
church here" sometimes too.
That was yesterday in the AM.
Yes, I know we have to let the kids
make their own choices.
My question is this:
Do I say something?
Is there anything I should,
as a caring parent, say to son?
Is it none of my bi'ness
Or isnt it even an unequal yoking
should it get serious?
(this kid dont date, and is a very
goal oriented person like a "Paul")
Catholics/Protestants etc. What would
you guys do or say in that situation?
Help only please, no judging k?
thanks,
sunlover

I'm judging only what I see here Angel.
My concern isnt that he'll join the CC.
He has, praise His Holy Name!
Actually if she is "worth anything" she will submit to his lead if the relationship continues to grow serious.
Mont if a girl is Protestant and marries a Catholic, do you still think that she should submit to his lead? If both are convinced that the faith tradition that they are in is the right one, how can either give it up for the other? I know that I could not give up the Catholic Faith for even my husband if he had been non-Catholic. I'm still not saying that a good marriage cannot exist, but it is more difficult.
