There is nothing intrinsically w...Hello De Maria, <br /><br />There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a woman having a degree or having a full time job. What is wrong is when a woman's natural vocation to motherhood is subverted/subordinated to less important things like a career or advanced degree. <br /><br />The modern push to have as many women in college and the workforce is not done with the woman's well being in mind. Rather, it's largely money driven, in which the businesses known as colleges can collect $50k per female student in tuition and the workforce can be doubled and thus drive down wages and benefits. On another level, it's geared towards the eradication of the family, such that the woman doesn't get the chance to be a mother. <br /><br />So in response to your question about a woman who is a "career secretary," the question I would ask is in what context is she being a secretary? <br /><br />Consider: Is she forced to do this because she's a single mother? Is she forced to do this because her husband cannot earn enough due to unjust economic practice? Is she doing this to prove she can earn as much as a man? Is she doing this because she never found a spouse? These and similar questions show just how sad and tragic of circumstances a woman who is a career secretary can be in. <br /><br />Surely a career secretary is not doing this to boast that she can be a great mom while being outside of the house 50 hours per week.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-84107348104796220842013-03-12T08:45:41.944-07:002013-03-12T08:45:41.944-07:00Kate, you're right.

Most young women that I observed in college, seemed to be looking for a serious relationship and marriage. Whereas, most immoral young men took advantage of such ladies and used that to play the field.<br /><br />My biggest concern with college though, for men or women, is something you touched upon. The soul destroying immorality which can corrupt even righteous souls.<br /><br />I think, however, you asked the wrong question. Today, it isn't necessary for a woman to go to College for her to have a full time career outside of the home. That is the question. Should a married woman have a full time job outside the home?<br /><br />All my non-homeschooling friends. Everyone of them, expects their wives to work and bring home funds to help support the family. I don't know when it happened that men expected their wives to work. But that is the reality today. At least, in my corner of the world. The only ones who want their wives at home are those who are keeping their children at home and away from the public schools.De Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997195004868253348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-24828085653847385312013-03-11T09:17:16.527-07:002013-03-11T09:17:16.527-07:00Hello Kate,
Thanks for your comments. I've a...Hello Kate, <br /><br />Thanks for your comments. I've actually heard of many women who go to solid Catholic institutions to get their "MRS Degree" (Mrs.). <br /><br /><br />John, <br /><br />The CCC does talk about Natural Law, but defining it can be somewhat tough because the Natural Law covers a wide range of moral issues. While most are aware that Natural Law covers issues of basic morality like those found in the Decalogue, the Encyclicals of Leo are especially amazing in bringing out Natural Law's teaching on family life, government, and economics. In its essence, Natural Law pertains to man's natural ability to Reason, which is man's ability to reflect upon Creation and thus recognize why God made things the way He did. <br /><br />Natural Law is like knowing basic arithmetic, giving you a foundation to build more advanced mathematical concepts from, where as Divinely Revealed Law (e.g. teachings of Sacred Scripture) is like knowing Calculus. <br /><br />Here is the CCC introduction to Natural Law http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p3s1c3a1.htmNickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-54597939816381527502013-03-09T04:40:43.652-08:002013-03-09T04:40:43.652-08:00Good post Nick.

More people need to stand up and say that. Especially when it is so easy to educate yourself via internet and books these days. <br /><br />On a small theological note, I find peculiar the phrase "natural law teaches" but I am fairly sure you simply mean the teaching "is in accord with natural law." Does the CCC define natural law btw? JohnDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-1268875834721147702013-03-07T23:07:05.732-08:002013-03-07T23:07:05.732-08:00Hi Nick,
I was anxious to see what you were going ...Hi Nick,<br />I was anxious to see what you were going to write for this second post. I am glad that I find myself agreeing with quite a bit of it, but I would like to add a some too.<br /><br />I, like so many others, went to a nominally 'Catholic' university for a 4 year degree. I wanted the degree for self-interest rather than to prepare for a career. I met my husband there...which was another part of my goal. I knew I would find all kinds of interesting, educated, ambitious young men if I went to college. I found a great one and married him 3 weeks after graduation.<br /><br />I am only a few years out of school and I still have plenty of debt. But I don't regret it. I stay at home with my 3 (almost) 4 children. <br /><br />Most of my friends are stay at home moms without degrees. They are wonderful women and mothers, but they often worry about the possibility that they may need to work one day. I don't have those same fears. I have more confidence because of my education. However, you are right. College is not for everyone. An no one should be made to feel guilty if they choose to not attend. This society is not geared towards making women feel good about themselves. <br /><br />I'd like to see other options available for mothers. Not just online degrees, but classes that educate women while encouraging their vocations and their mothering. Just my thoughts.<br />KateKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15282912177454124277noreply@blogger.com
