I fail to see the need to make that comment. I understand that 20 mins is hard to find since you are a married woman with wonderful and beautiful children. And that being the case the sermon didn't speak to you directly. But I posted it for Annie not so much yourself.

was your condesending comment really necessary in the transmundane forum? this is not the open mic or debate forum. let's keep it classier here.

You've misunderstood.

most people don't have time for a 20 minute audio link. you didn't provide a short synopsis of what it was about or who is giving the sermon.

but i hope annie has gotten some good advice from this thread.

p.s. that's debatable - and we've had that debate in the debate table.

annie - i really do hope that you have a good confessor to sort this all out with. there's only so much that we, online, can help you with.

Audio Sancto doesn't give the names of the priests. To them its more about the message than the name who gives it. The sermon was about dating. Time is relative 20 mins is too long for some too short for others. And most anything under the sun is debatable.

I thought it was a good link.

The sermon is really good. The priest who ever he is has many great sermons recorded there as do other priests. All of them are clear and orthodox and the site is one of the greatest Catholic resources on the web.

I liked it. Particularly the part about not even entertaining the thought of dating if you and the person wanting to date you are not both in a position to be married, or at least close to being there.

That's just like in I Kissed Dating Goodbye (which is also a good book.)

I have sort of mixed thoughts on that. On the one hand I agree entirely and my own experience seems to support it. But on the other hand, my experience of dating in high school, while it was a failure by obvious metrics, was definitely a learning experience. I'm not sure if those things I learned might have been learned elsewhere or not.
On the other hand, I do not think I was a typical case. Maybe that changes things. I don't know.

Although this book is a very good book, I do remember it having some pretty strong protestant undertones. I really can't give specifics as I haven't ready it in years and years, but just remember that it isn't Catholic based thinking when reading it :). I've read 3 books by the author I think, and all were beneficial to me.


As for a twenty minute audioclip, that's typically much easier to take in then even a 10 minute article as you can put it on your ipod or play it on your computer while cleaning house etc. I need to put more of their stuff on my ipod and listen to it more frequently. I can't look at what KofC linked to (at work), but I do remember one audioclip of theirs I listened to that I thought was a little more puritanical than necessary. I.E.: Don't ride in a vehicle with your significant other alone, don't go on dates alone, don't hold hands. The background the priest gave as to [b]why [/b]though was very very good and really gets you thinking of what you should or shouldn't do and [b]why[/b]. I think that's what I liked most about the clip.
