When we decide to settle down and find that special someone we often look for the ideals.
The title of this piece is the answer to a question I posed to a friend of mine,
"Searching for a focused Catholic Young Lady." In today's world when you hear something like that you smile - because it is so rear to hear men saying such things. A man cannot be searching for a focused Catholic lady if he himself isn't a focused Catholic man.
Our societies around the world have become afraid of goodness. We are afraid of being politically incorrect and therefore we stand up for nothing. We tolerate everything and in so doing we dismiss all our morals, values and ethics.
The example here was of a guy searching for his Catholic counterpart. The situation could easily have been a Jew searching for his counterpart, a Methodist, or a Pentecostal. It really doesn’t matter the religion at this point, what matters is that these people who have strong beliefs as different and controversial as they may be are searching for someone who HAS beliefs as well.
The essence is very simple - here we have something that is no longer a normal occurrence in our societies anymore - a person seeking the values that he has for himself in another human being.
What is very sad is that he has to search - because there are too many who have lost touch with their faith and choose to compromise their faith to be included in the general populous of those who would rather NOT believe in anything. It is too difficult to go to Mass every Sunday, or it is too difficult to fast during the month of Ramadan, or Lent; it is much easier to say "Happy Xmas" rather than "Merry CHRISTmas"
We cast aside the foundations of our value systems in our society and then wonder why there is so much crime and violence in the world. America wants to take God out of every school (Maybe they have already). When they decide to take God out of everything in their society can you imagine how much money will need to be re-printed?!?!??! (I wonder who will get that contract.)
No person who holds their belief nearest and dearest to their hearts should have to SEARCH that hard for the person who will support them in their future life. It is easier on many levels when you share the same principals, values and beliefs. And it ensures that you and your spouse will always have a united front in the areas that matter most.
For those men out there who live their life by their faith and are searching for their counterpart I applaud you, for you represent a dying breed that I hope will not become extinct.
