What the Australian Catholic Church didn't say and what it might have said

Hmmm

The Catholic Church in Australia has told women not to be too picky about their future husbands and marry early because there is a drought of eligible men.

A church official told the Herald Sun newspaper there has been a massive decline in the number of available men, with statistics claiming there are just 86,000 Mr Rights for 1.3 million women aged between 25 and 34.

This has set off a Cactus Kate rant. Steeped as she doubless is in the agitprop of 1970s  feminism, marriage itself is an outmoded and oppresive institution in her head I suspect.

But these are not the words of the Catholic Church, they are the words of a Melbourne Priest. 

And   he is not saying is not for women to lower their standards and hook up with some "dropkick" just to acheive marital  status which is how  CC seems to read  it.

What he is saying is if you are a woman and  delay marriage for  too long you will probably not marry at all and that might seem fine when in the flower of your youth but when you are older perhaps not.

I think marriage is a marker of true adulthood and that it should happen young and that couples should embark upon it not with the concept it is something you can get out of easily but that of a partnership that will develop over a lifetime.

Leftists have successfuly  targeted  marriage during the course of my lifetime, not because it is oppresive to women as they claim, but because strong families are resistant to Government dependency, and Government dependency is what leftism needs to persist.

They have also thoroughly  degraded women and femininity in the process.
