There is a good reason why we have these restrictions. And I will post about that very soon.

The problem with all of this is that the RATE of change is too fast for people to handle. Changes that took decades or centuries, now happen in twenty years. 35 years ago homosexuals could be arrested for being caught intimate. None of us knows were we are going. Weapons of Mass Destruction are feverishly being developed. Only God knows what will happen. We have to keep looking toward Him and do not look away.

Share these data points with participants and then discuss — using the questions below.<br />1. Marriage as a precursor to childbirth is seen as a relic of the past by many young adults. From “Knot Yet: The National Marriage Project,” University of Virginia, 2011<br />2. In previous generations, marriage was seen as a cornerstone of launching into adulthood. Today, young adults are delaying marriage due to financial insecurity, fear of divorce, and a desire for career stability. Ibid.<br />3. 90 % of young adults feel they must be completely financially independent before they marry. Ibid.<br />4. The cohabitation rate of unmarried senior citizens is rising: up 50% since 2000. Ibid.<br />5. 65% of all couples who eventually marry lived together before marriage. from Pew Research Study: “The Decline of Marriage and Rise of New Families,” 2010.<br />6. The vast majority of adults in their twenties (80%) see marriage as an “important part of their life plan.” “Knot Yet,” University of Virginia.<br />7. The “ideal” for marriage has shifted from providing economic security to finding a “soul mate” — often with idealistic and unmet expectations. Ibid.<br />8. Marriage remains the norm for adults with a college education and good incomes; markedly less prevalent for those with less education or economic stability. Ibid.<br />9. In the past 7 years, 35-40% of all marriages began with on-line dating. “Emerging Adulthood: the winding road from late teens through the twenties,” Jeffrey Arnett; Oxford.<br />10. As of June 2014, thirty-one states prohibit same-sex marriage, twenty states and the District of Columbia allow same-sex marriage and 47% of Episcopalians in 40 dioceses live in states or jurisdictions where same-sex marriage is legal. Office for Congregational Research, DFMS<br />11. 2/3 of all adults see living together as a necessary step to marriage. Cohabitation has become a routine substitute for marriage. Pew Research Study.<br />12. In 1960, 2/3 of all adults in their twenties were married. By 2008, that number was only 26%. Ibid.<br />13. Divorce rates leveled off in the US in 1980 to 45% of all marriages and has held steady for the past 35<br />years. For senior adults, the divorce rate has jumped 35%. “The All Or Nothing Marriage,” Eli J. Finkel, a Professor of Psychology at Northwestern University, published in the NY Times, 2014.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205973525389434155.post-8487232598893015772015-04-20T15:22:23.095+10:002015-04-20T15:22:23.095+10:00Apparently, in today's PDN, Senator Michael Sa...Apparently, in today's PDN, Senator Michael San Nicolas feels that Governor Calvo should obey the Attorney General. Perhaps, now one can see why the NCW needs to go into the parishes giving our testimonies to fellow Catholics. Just because one goes to Church does not mean that they follow Catholic teachings as evidence by Senator Michael San Nicolas and many other politicians who attend the Catholic Church.
