From the Architect of MPDConnect

Many people have asked me what compelled me to build this site, after evaluating my own experience and the input of many men and women who tried to find a good person to marry in this wild jungle the we call ‘Internet’.
In first place I am a Catholic, not by birth but by choice, responding God's call in my late teenage years having growth in a sex-liberated world during all my life. I have seen many marriages collapse because they were just fooled by the 'happy-ever-after' Hollywood idea, which of course it is only based on feelings and 'chemistry' (don’t judge me wrong, these are important too!).

In contrast, I have witnessed many, many couples united in Matrimony with God as the Pillar of their marriage; generous men and women who built their union in solid rock with great love for each other but also with the great principles that our Lord has established for all mankind: a union of a man with a woman in one flesh, exclusively, until death, open to life (children) and with the purpose of educating their children in our Faith so they can pass it on from generation to generation until the end of time.

I saw these couples (normal men and women like any of us) struggle every day, sometimes with very scarce means and many mouths to feed, but cheerful, happy to do everything for the love of God, their spouse and their children. I witnessed their quarrels but also their reconciliations. I would enter their home and I could breathe the spirit of the first Christians who died for our Faith and could tell 'look how much they love each other!'.

I witnessed 50th anniversaries many times, surrounded by their children and grandchildren (sometimes many of them), and I could tell why they persevered. Most of the time, their children are also marrying a Catholic woman to feel the same love their parents showed them.
I also listened to others who said: 'as long as there is love and respect for each other's beliefs, doesn't matter what my significant other thinks or believes’. Others said: 'I will convert him (or her)'… and they ended up teaching their Faith alone to their children. The kids notice, and they start to ask: 'why dad (or mom) does not go to Mass with us?'. I saw these persons become miserable and many times they lose their Faith themselves (not to mention their children).

Why do you think this generation of children has joined their peers in this hostile environment where pleasure, sex and 'chemistry' control their hearts? If our children don't find God at home, they are not likely to find Him elsewhere even when He awaits them every step of the way.
Of course, many still convert to our Faith today. However, I see more and more young men and women who look for someone to share their Faith and they can't find them. They go to the Internet and meet people who just fills up the 'religion' section as 'Catholic' while they haven't been in a Church for years (if ever).

You good Catholics need to find each other in an increasingly pagan world. God seeking Catholics do not look just for 'a good person': you understand very well that if this man or woman doesn't have an interior life, goes to Mass, to Confession and receive the Sacraments like you do, they will not be up to the demanding task God has for us today: bring a full generation back to Him and pass the Faith on to your children and friends.

You deserve the best man, the best woman to be your lover, the father, the mother of your children and I will help you find them, with God's help and a lot of your prayers. Look for the Faith and interior life, but do not stop there; there must be human virtues: loyalty, fortitude, hard work, responsibility, friendship, compassion and especially, unity of life, integrity.

Some skeptical friends have told me that there are very few Catholics who want this, that few will come to this site, that I am wasting my time. They may be right, although I am optimistic, but I do really believe this: if only one man and one woman get to meet here, get married, and through this one Marriage our Faith may be propagated to the new generations, I will not have worked in vain.

God bless you all,

The architect
