  • It's the age old question couples ask . . . "How far is too far before marriage?"
    But I think that's really the wrong question to be asking. As human beings, our hearts are far too complex to be simply reduced to a hard and fast rule. Don't get me wrong, rules are important! But as the rich young man in the Gospel shows us, it's possible to follow all the rules without following Jesus. . .

    "You can follow the rules and not follow Jesus" so true

    “Not free to break to law; rather free to fulfill the law because we do not desire to break it” This brought so much clarity for me - Thank you!

    Can you please do a video, like this, on chastity within marriage and how that looks during abstinence and the use of nfp? Thank you!

    Wow, this is so amazing! You explain this key issue very intelligently by getting to its core, instead of presenting external rules that people don't relate to.
    This is the best answer to this question I've ever seen. What a difference it would make if this was told at homes and schools.
    Thank you for spreading these good news Christopher! May God and the Immaculate Heart of Mary bless you and protect you always .

    Dear Father, I am so glad I found you. I am f/not married....I suffer from a condition that has been removed from the disorders in the DSM-5. They are all over it in France, not the USA. I know I must see a priest...I am a woman...I am not looking for a perpetual green light. My body is doing this: PGAD. Constant at times, sometimes the pain is a 9, now and then a 10.

    Here's an idea for you: Why not let that couple of consenting adults determine, on their own, based on their own hearts (and heads and consciences) what is too far for them.

      They can. The church is there to guide them in a moral life and for salvation of their souls.
      We are free to accept or reject that.

      Is it ethical to watch someone walk off a cliff? To drink poison?

    Do u honestly think that this video will help courting Catholic couples. No way.
    Pls find out what born again of water n spirit means. It's born of God. N 1jn says tht those born of God do not sin. So those born again are guided by the Holy Spirit n they do not lust for sex. This is something most catholics do not know. And there is nothing of what JP2 said is worth noting. Why make it so intellectual when most catholics will not even understand. This is catholicism.
