I feel your pain, yldstrk.
When I was a single gal, I too had difficulty finding a nice, traditional Catholic boy. In fact, I DIDN’T find one, so I married a Lutheran.
He came to Mass with me, he paid the kids’ Catholic school tuition, and he lived as a Catholic in every way. But whenever the possibilty of conversion came up, I got nowhere. How could I fight him when he’d remind me that the Catholic Masses he’d been to seemed more Protestant than the Lutheran services he used to attend? From what he observed, Mass was often loud and brash, and the congregants seemed to treat the it more like a Social Hour than a Holy Sacrifice. I resigned myself to him remaining a different faith and I bided my time.
And then, in 2007, the Latin Mass came back. I brought him to the first Mass and afterwards he said, “Now THAT was church!” The conversion began that day. There was no looking back from then on.
So...I didn’t marry a nice, traditional Catholic boy, but I ended up with one!
Regards,
PS: I agree with the author of the post — manly virtue is at a terrible crossroads and I fear for my children (boys) who will enter adulthood and go into a world fraught with such moral danger.
That is awesome
