FALLING IN LOVE WITH A NON-PRACTICING CATHOLIC
I met Christopher online, and we were engaged seven months later on the feast of Saint Ann.
While in messages he revealed he was not a practicing Catholic -- despite a photo of him at his nephew’s baptism --against my initial reservation I decided to meet him. He impressed me with his abundant virtue and sweetness, but on our third date I told him what I knew would be a deal-breaker.
"I go to the Traditional Latin Mass, and not just on Sundays. And, there is absolutely no sex before marriage. If that's too much for you, I totally understand,” I told him.
Smiling, Christopher responded, "Well, I better go to Confession."
He made his first Confession in fifteen years the next day. Christopher has taken to the traditional Faith faster than I did, and now leads us in prayer and at Mass.
