Pearl - Is Marriage Ideal for Men in 2025

00:00:00.000 Even if you're agreeing that the Catholic Church has been influenced by feminism,

00:00:04.300 how can you still push Catholic marriage and say that feminism won't influence it?

00:00:08.760 I think we can get into marriage.

00:00:10.040 When it comes down to it, you know, and this is a hill I'm willing to die on,

00:00:13.100 I believe that the Catholic vision of marriage is ideal for men and women.

00:00:16.400 So I don't like to stick with ideals because it just becomes a wish list of what we wish would be true.

00:00:21.980 I'm talking about the women today that men have to pick from as wives are not generally practicing Catholics.

00:00:29.480 There are plenty of statistics on, and I know you know this, on men and women who attend church

00:00:36.560 weekly every Sunday, men and women who pray together. And I know we can get on that. I know

00:00:41.880 you've pushed back on that many, many times. Those individuals are less likely to cohabitate

00:00:46.580 before marriage. They're less likely to, they're more likely to have low body counts, I guess you

00:00:51.940 can say. And the stats say that those individuals are more likely to have marriage success. But,

00:00:57.760 you know i wouldn't say that that is limited necessarily to just catholic i think you can

00:01:03.200 look at other religious denominations and you know as long as those habits are being executed 1.00

00:01:08.960 then you're likely to have more more marriage success you have to acknowledge that the the

00:01:13.280 percentages are significantly lower compared to the rest of the population if you take the rest

00:01:19.280 of the secular population i'm sure it happens significantly more than it does in a conservative

00:01:25.280 again you're ignoring what i'm saying though because the problem with the stats you're talking

00:01:30.240 about is they're only taking the people that are still practicing and the challenge you get is some

00:01:35.440 people start off practicing together the wife says i'm gonna leave he can't do anything and so now

00:01:42.320 he's not taken into that statistic because now they're not praying every day and going to church

00:01:47.600 even though they started that way it's like conveniently taking the winners so it's not a

00:01:51.760 a good sample size but if you take the number of divorces and I don't know this off the I can't

00:01:57.540 remember it off the top of my head but Catholic it's similar it's because the problem is they 1.00

00:02:02.700 have to convince men to get married they have to and the reason they have to is because men if

00:02:09.220 they don't keep convincing men to sign up the government doesn't know what they're going to do

00:02:13.500 with all of these single women.
