But those two-bit scarlet women are good enough for you to get off to? That’s lovely.

Maybe you should do some research on the connection between porn and human trafficking.
It’s amazing how many girls on these porn & cam sites are runaways or immigrants who want out but have no way, and I’m sure attitudes like yours really help things.

I think the OP might be like a lot of men in that he doesn’t view them as “real people” deserving of respect like people he knows in real life. He sounds like a charming man.
 
Some of you accuse me of overcontrolling, others say I need to assert my role as titular head of the household…
 
Porn is not a “big thing” to me, it’s something I don’t engage in 29 days out of the month. Compared to the average American male, I’m way, way above average.

Do you see it as harmless, since if you only engage in “on occasion”?

You dont think it harms others?
 
I had to post again regarding your attitude toward using pornography. Had you said that you are a weak man and find the teachings of the Church difficult, and had taken the porn use to confession, that would be one thing. But since you posted as you did, minimizing it, I will give you the word of God concerning this matter…
You have heard the commandment, “You shall not commit adultery.” What I say to you is: anyone who looks lustfully at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his thoughts. Matt5:27&28

We are all called to honor God with our sexuality.
You are called to honor your wife with your sexuality.

As you do so, you are giving witness to the power of the Living God working in your life.
The world really needs men to stand up and be who they are called to be in this dark time.
Women and daughters need such men.
There are millions of babies who have been aborted because of the lack of such men.
May God help us.
 
Two headed coins are readily available and seem to be as licit a guide to God’s will as your previous form of divination.
Joking aside, you need to sit your wife down and come to a common decision after much united prayer. These differences in life values really need to be sorted out before a mixed marriage. You have the right to use as much legitimate authority you have as head of your family to encourage your wife to see the practical value of a common religious education for your family. May the Holy Spirit guide both of you to a loving decision that is the best for your children.
 
You need to pray hard for your wife’s conversion, this must be the easiest way otherwise if you bring up child #1 a Catholic and child #2 a Protestant, not only does this cause problems between the two children but what about child #3?

What happens in Sundays? Do you both go to different churches? I ask this because when I was little my parents went to two different churches but all us children went with mum.

Definitely agreed, but I think the OP might be a little afraid that his wife will turn out too Catholic if she converts and might take some of of that inconvenient church doctrine seriously.

Can’t tell you how to resolve this without tearing your marriage apart. My prayers are for your children.

But I will say this for the single readers out there: mixed faith marriages can be troublesome for this reason, especially if both parties are passionate about their respective faiths. If you feel called to marry a non-Catholic, better pray on that, discern whether it is the right thing to do. The OP’s situation is an issue that should have been resolved before they married. Yes when the couple is in love, it’s easy to paper over the differences before running to the altar, but haste now can make for regret later.

This! 👍 A house divided against itself will not stand. I’ve seen too many posts that state “we get along in everything but have just one difference (religion) so it will all work itself out in the end” That’s not true and this should have been resolved before marriage and not left to a coin toss. One can’t raise one child in one and the other in the other. Totally ridiculous and what happens is that either there is a holy war that tears apart the family or the children get so totally turned off of any religion that they become very anti-religious.
 
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned NFP yet- OP, you don’t have to have 9 children as a Catholic. Spacing them for valid reasons by periodic abstinence is morally allowable.

That said, you don’t seem to embrace all or many of the Catholic teachings. No, you don’t have to be perfect. No one’s perfect. But once you understand the laws, you should do your best to follow them. Deciding you are better than most people because you only do it once in a while is not what Jesus said, I’m pretty sure it was “Go and sin no more.”
 
maybe so but these issues of differences in religion are not a laughing matter. Whether this is a real story or not, I do hope that someone thinking of marrying a non-Catholic might read some of the posts and hopefully rethink the issues present in a mix faith marriage and the raising of children etc. If someone is trolling, shame on them and dishonesty on the internet hurts the poster most of all, it doesn’t hurt me if I answered honestly with the hope of helping someone else.
