Guest T-Bone Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 She's really nice, and cute, and we hang out with eatchother like we're old friends. We have simular views, alot in common. She is a bit young, though the only real thing is that she's a Presbyterian. Should I go forward with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuchaporElRey21 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 You are an astute, spirit-filled man! Pray about it brother! Take her to Mass and convert her! You seem good at apologetics to me. Personally, I wouldn't do it myself. But, if you are brave enough, hey, it's your life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Presbyterians do convert sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuchaporElRey21 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian! And if you two have similar views, then why can't it work? Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. And if it doesn't work, then you can always come back and give me carp about it later.

[/quote] Hey man...I refer you to my recent post titled: Wedding Bells! Its in "Open Mic". Read my tale. Maybe your's will be different? The key is never to compromise on any aspect of our Most Holy Catholic faith. After my experience, I wouldn't recommend your pursuing a relationship with the young woman. But who am I? Open your heart and listen to God. I disagree with what our friend says about converting her. Don't take that stance. Leave the ocnverting to the Holy Spirit. What's meant ot be will find a way so long as you don't take matters into your own hands. Be gentle, be kind, and for the Love of Humanity, be orthodox! Find your answers in the Eucharist! I will keep you in my prayers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcePrincessKRS Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 This has got to be one of the funniest thread titles I've ever read. Seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelly_freak Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 This is a huge reason I left Phatmass. If you get along with someone, you have alot in common, and they're a kind and loving person why does it matter if they're not catholic? My dad isn't catholic, he's lutheran but my mom (catholic) has been married to him for over 30 years. Maybe it's just me but there's more things to life than worrying about whether they're catholic or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as a previoce poster said, dont comprimise your faith at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelly_freak Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Yeah, that's what I mean. There are key issues that you have to agree on or you will encounter problems but otherwise I don't see any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the purpose of family life? To live our Catholic faith? To raise up our children in the Catholic faith? To preserve our own Catholic faith? All this is much easier when your spouse is Catholic. I think it's an important question to ask. What you choose to do is ultimately between you and God, but I think it's important to ask the question, because nothing is more important in this life than what God has revealed in the person of his Son.
