Rachel Hoover: Battling for better relationships

"When I started to interview people about the challenges their facing in dating other Catholics, there were no shortage of takers who wanted to talk about this problem...I heard from people of different ages, different parts of the country who are all experiencing challenges meeting a fellow single Catholic that they might want to date, someone who is actually faithful to Church teaching, faithful to chastity, but also someone who would be pleasant to spend time with and carry on a good conversation," said Rachel Hoover, critic and essayist for several Catholic publications and author of several articles on the vocation of marriage. She holds a BA from Christendom College and lives in Nashville, TN. "People are struggling to meet each other in the first place and if they do meet each other, they're struggling with the relationship skills that are necessary to build a good dating relationship that could lead to marriage." Deacon Geoff and Rachel discuss this crisis of being able to form relationships and build faithful Catholic families.
