http://www.daterindistress.com/dating/catholic-service.html A Catholic dating service might be the place to find that sacramental someone. Use your Catholic dating service to get into contact with someone, just don't get too close. en-us Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:13:54 EDT Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:13:54 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Dear Dater In Distress, You might be a little shocked to read this page's title - from Pope to elope. Well, you need to calm down a bit because the dating world is not suited for straightedge. You need a sense of humor when it comes to any form of dating service, especially when it comes to type-specific services like a Catholic dating service. With a Catholic dating service you might meet the world Catholics. What on Earth does it mean to be a Catholic these days? You believe the Pope as the Holy See, the devine communicator, the man with the hat. If you are Catholic you are probably Brazillian or Mexican. Or Phillipino. Or Italian, French, irish Spanish, Polish, or from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Fact is, Catholics are everywhere, and plugging yourself into a Catholic dating service is sure to give you a worldly dating pool - which is good, which is what you want. Utilizing a Catholic dating service is also good because it takes an extremely delicate subject - religion - and slides is gently out of the way. No more freaking out your mom or disappointing your ancient grandparents, you're bringing home the real deal, a Catholic. And best of all they're single. Catholic singles are a rarity With over a billion Catholics in the world you'd think Catholic singles would be everywhere and that Catholic dating service would be entirely congested and impossible to navigate. But Catholics are a strange bunch, and in the United States fall into one of two categories: You have the good Catholics who find their soul-mates at the age of 15, get married the in absolute virgin purity ( yeah right) at the age of 18, settle down, have 36 kids, and devote themselves to a good Catholic life. And then you have the wild ones, the renegade Catholics who just love to get weird. Drop outs, drug addicts, musicians, gypsies, doctors, astronauts - you name it and there is probably a Catholic somewhere out there doing it. Its the renegade Catholics who are on the dating circuit, but as renegades they probably won;'t limit themselves to dating other Catholics alone - yet. Their time to settle down is later. So if you are a young renegade type just itching for some dating fun, forget about that Catholic dating service and get your feet wet with the other 5 billion. But if you're ready to settle down and live the Catholic life, find your match through a dating service - know you have the real thing before you run off an elope. Tue, 30 Aug 2005 12:13:54 EDT
