Consanguinity Chart

Okay, this is admittedly a bit random, but I’ve recently had several conversations about what makes someone a 1st or 2nd Cousin and what makes one once or twice removed.

So, with the goal of using this to win all future arguments, here is a diagram which shows the different names used for different levels of consanguinity (literally, “with the same blood”):

Soul Mates?

As a follow-up to my catholic dating series, I’d invite you to read this post by Hannah from The Art In Life entitled “My husband is not my soul mate” as some food for thought and discussion:

Catholic Dating: “Pursuit”

August 22, 2013 pilgrim 39 comments

Today’s post may be somewhat controversial, but I’d like to talk about this particular topic because it was an aspect of dating which most infuriated me in my early twenties.

In an earlier post, I spoke about a counterfeit, passive masculinity which one often finds within Christianity. However, thanks to writers such John Elridge and Jason Evert, there has been a growing shift with regards to the expected behaviour of men within the Church.

As a result, the ladies are encouraged to expect a lot more from the guys. Courageous valour, rather than niceness is the order of the day. Related to this, you hear constant mention of one word in particular, “pursuit”.

Pursuit

Today I would like to address some of the potential hazards with the idea of pursuit and suggest what can be done to safeguard against them.

Catholic Dating: Let’s try this again…

August 4, 2013 pilgrim 6 comments

A long, long time ago I announced that I was writing a series of posts which would attempt to respond to a question which I have heard asked in frustration by many of my female Catholic friends concerning my brothers in the Faith: “Why doesn’t that nice Catholic boy ask me out?”

Despite having received a lively response to my original blog entry, it is well over a year later and I have posted nothing further on the subject 🙁

Now, I did begin sketching out a few initial articles, but unfortunately I soon began to feel rather nervous, unsure as to how such posts would be received, particularly by those within my immediate Church family. So, to cut a long story short, I chickened out. I stopped working on them and didn’t publish anything further on the subject.

And in case you were wondering, no, the irony of this was not lost on me…
