In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend and Catholic convert, Dr. Andrew Wojciechowski, to discuss his views on the Catholic Church and its views on marriage. We talk about the differences between Catholics and non-practicing Catholics, why Catholics are more likely to get married, and the impact of feminism on Catholic marriage.

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.
