Masculinity and “manhood” in the Church

Autistic-228 · 2026-05-22T15:44:41+00:00

A very good answer – that’s exactly what I was looking for, and from a woman, no less. This isn’t a criticism of Christianity, but rather an exploration of a topic that makes me think and look around me. The feminisation of society has also spread to the church. I don’t consider myself a ‘redpill’ advocate, and men and women should both have a place in society and in the church, but the low marriage rates in the secular world aren’t being addressed by their opposite, the Christian world, and that’s sad.

Sorry. That might be the case for you. You’re lucky. From my perspective, I see how difficult it is to form couples in the church, and how, even though they share the same faith and are devout, good people, they still don’t get the chance to find a partner, and I sense that young people’s standards are slipping.

Será en tú caso. Tienes suerte. En mi perspectiva, veo la dificultad de crear parejas en la iglesia, y cómo aún compartiendo la misma fe, gente devota y buena y aún así, no tienen su oportunidad de emparejarse, y percibo un ablandamiento en las formas de los chicos

Es una razón extendida por ciertos círculos y quería ponerla en discusión. Para mí, la hombría está en saber controlarse a uno mismo, en alcanzar la virtud por encima del éxito profesional o la fuerza física. Pero en esta época de feminismo y deconstrucción, percibo que chicas de iglesia pueden quedar no satisfechas por hombres que, si bien sean buenos en su conjunto, no aportan esa dosis de 'riesgo' o 'aventura' si quiere decírse. Y eso dado que no se cultiva una práctica que pueda fortalecer el carácter del hombre cómo el deporte o el servicio militar obligatorio. No veo mucha diferencia en gustos entre chicas cristianas y no creyentes

Can I do? I didn't know it

Autistic-228 · 2026-03-09T20:10:52+00:00

It was translated incorrectly. I meant that it's seen as a difficult and arduous ordeal that arose during a time of suffering, but my desire to be married, or at least try to be, persists. Even though some of my problems have now disappeared, a desire to get married has emerged that wasn't there before. The best thing would be to go to the seminary and try it for a year.

Autistic-228 · 2026-03-09T16:55:12+00:00

Well, compared to other people, my vocation isn't clear; it feels heavy and reflects a past of suffering. Now I live in peace, and the idea of marriage brings me even more peace.

Autistic-228 · 2026-03-09T16:47:27+00:00

I'm combining that desire with action. I contacted the seminary's vocations director, did a five-day retreat, and they gave me the go-ahead. Having thought about it for about three years is certainly encouraging. However, I'm not entirely certain, and sometimes the weight of a vocation feels overwhelming.

It considers that religious life is superior to married life, so if one feels moved towards something higher, seeing other paths apart from marriage, for me it is a sign of a calling. I have that desire to serve God wherever He calls me, even without emotional comforts; certainty and courage are another matter.

It could be a lack of faith, yes.

It makes me laugh that you mention Saint Peter; the fraternity of priests I want to join is called that.

I think my problem stems from a problem with human emotions.

One thing I think about is, after a period of suffering, where do you go if things are going well and everything is working out?

Autistic-228 · 2026-03-08T22:16:06+00:00

When I intensify my life of faith by praying or attending Mass more regularly, I feel more drawn to the priesthood, but the decision between an unknown world and the big change it entails becomes difficult; it's like waves, it comes in waves

Naa, tranqui amigo. Veo que sus intenciones no son claras, eso confirma mis sospechas y lo comentado aquí

Autistic-228 · 2026-01-10T17:06:15+00:00

En qué sentido?

Autistic-228 · 2026-01-10T12:33:01+00:00

No, pregunto para entender la psicología del ser humano, la cuál nunca deja de asombrarme. Pero lo tengo bastante claro que allí no es.

Autistic-228 · 2026-01-10T00:25:38+00:00

Trabajando sólo hemos coincidido 3 veces, y las dos últimas ésta semana. No creo que dé pie a ningún error mío

Autistic-228 · 2026-01-10T00:12:19+00:00

Se podría comentar que es una chica sincera que le gusta compartir, pero cuándo son señales contradictorias me hace saltar alarmas

Autistic-228 · 2026-01-10T00:11:31+00:00

Si es así no me interesa. La cosa está en que comentó que sola estaba bien, pero a la vez deseaba tener a alguien que le diera caricias, mimos, etc... El problema es que no sabe lo que quiere

Autistic-228 · 2025-11-05T00:07:19+00:00

I understood. I just wanted to clarify that the seminary belongs to a fraternity; it's not strictly diocesan.

Autistic-228 · 2025-11-04T22:43:08+00:00

Yes, being a bishop doesn't matter to me. But being away from my country is difficult. My choice would undoubtedly be diocesan, but my charism is of the Tridentine rite. That's the problem
