![]() ![]() My family was very traditional Roman Catholic in how everyone perceived life and in how they all behaved. I was born in 1963 to devoutly Catholic parents who were the children of Italian immigrants. ![]() In order to understand my personal journey, it might help if I first explain the environment in which I was raised. It may even serve as a lesson to some not so young people. My journey from good Catholic too, at best, lukewarm Catholic, and finally back to the Church and becoming a single man living a chaste life in Christ may serve as a lesson to young people. Proverbs 14:12 says, “There is a way that seems right unto a man, but its end is the way of death.” I also had sexual relationships with a number of different women, mistakenly thinking that the relationship would develop into something more meaningful. Like so many other young people, and probably even many middle-aged people, I succumbed to the lure of pornography. I grew up in a devout Catholic home, but as a young man, out on his own, I gave in to temptation more often than I care to admit. Even though I have never married, I am content.Īs I look back over my life, I see a distinct pattern of growth that has resulted in who I am today. I’m not a cleric but I have found fulfillment living a chaste life and serving God. I am probably something of an anomaly in today’s world.
