On Angels and Virginity
(Episode 6)
+ Question 1
Do you believe in angels? My grandmother used to pray to her guardian angel every day, but if they exist, why don't they protect kids from child abuse, or stop car accidents and other tragedies? I'm willing to consider the possibility that they're real, but it seems foolish to me to rely for protection on a figment of one's imagination.
+ Question 2
Father, this is going to sound awful, but I'm tired of being Catholic. I'm in my mid-20s and most of my friends are sexually active, and happily so. Their lives are just as fulfilled as mine - probably more so, actually, because I'm lonely. I've been hanging on to my virginity because it's what I was raised to do, but there's a big part of me that thinks it's a pointless sacrifice and I'd be better off if I loosened up and followed my friends on this one. Is the chaste life I've lived so far even worth it?
