Posts: 1,278 Group: Members Member #20 Joined: September 26, 2006	Please can we pray for another of my daughter's friends (not the earlier one by the way!), who is "going out" with another girl - whatever that means! I really believe the youth of today are so confused sexually. They no longer know what is right or wrong anymore. Anything goes and nothing seems to be taboo. We are not going to judge this girl and her "friend". But I do feel they are going to make it very difficult for themselves in terms of future friendships and relationships. A friend told me today that some of today's Catholic youth have more or less said they don't want to attend Mass, as they are concerned about being / appearing hypocrites. The sad irony is, that at times like this, they need their faith more than ever... :(

It probably means the other girl makes her happy - how that is achieved can be different for each of us. Sinful or not (and it doesn't have to be, of course!), I'd far rather two people shared a real love than be bitter and hateful. The rest has to be between them and God. Emee I really believe the youth of today are so confused sexually. I disagree. There is no confusion about it. They feel liberated... free... allowed to feel and express for themselves, whether we like it or not! I can think of many Catholic women I know who are rather relieved - and even feeling free - when their husbands are finally gone! Confusion occurs when you are forced to comply with the 'norm' against your will - not everyone wants to be alone. Emee I feel they are going to make it very difficult for themselves in terms of future friendships and relationships. Why? What difference does it make to any future relationship that there has been a relationship in the past? Either you love someone or you don't. Emee A friend told me today that some of today's Catholic youth have more or less said they don't want to attend Mass, as they are concerned about being / appearing hypocrites. They no longer know what is right or wrong anymore. I would have thought such honesty and thoughtfulness about God and what they are doing was actually rather praiseworthy - how many of US (Catholics genereally) think that thoroughly about why we do things? They clearly know what the Church says is right and wrong and take it seriously to decide their action accordingly, whatever we might prefer. Emee The sad irony is, that at times like this, they need their faith more than ever... We all need that at all times, Emee. No matter how much we sin (or not).

I can think of many Catholic women I know who are rather relieved - and even feeling free - when their husbands are finally gone! What a terribly sad indictment of life and relationships today. I will be utterly devastated if my beloved husband dies before me :( And I had the "liberated" youth, oh yes. What a dreadful, life-destroying load of sin that left on my conscience. I wasn't fully set free from that load until I made my first confession 3 years ago. Emee, I share your concerns, and will pray for your daughter's friend, that God will heal her and lead her back onto the right path, and back to Him, and that she will not carry the burden of her sins for 30 years, as I did.
