An Australian Catholic weekly (For want of a lot of good men, May 2, 2019) features the testimony of a 32-year-old unmarried Catholic woman who bemoans the fact that there are no more good men to marry (the expression Where Are All The Good Men? is a well-known male chauvinist meme). Without fear of ridicule, the pious young woman describes the identity of the "good man" she desperately seeks among millions of depraved men:
It is asking to be worldly-wise to people who have chosen to believe in such a Tale that said:"There is a distressing dearth of men between the ages of 25 and 35 who are practicing Catholics, single and 'worldly-wise'. Most men I know generally possess two out of three of these characteristics, and missing often is the last one. If they are church-going singles, they are usually awkward and lack the slightest social sensibility (which "turns off" the interest of most women). If they are 'worldly,' they are usually neither single nor religious."
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” (John 15:18-19)
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.” (1 John 2:15-16)
