At least there are rules. Like chastity and the deposit of faith. Otherwise dating is a precarious enterprise. With no rules. One can inflict serious damage on the soul.
The 'speed dating' aspect may not be the best 'soil' for a committed relationship, since there is something superficial and disposable about this format, but the desire for young Catholics to find other young Catholics willing to commit to a relationship guided by their Faith is a positive one. I do bless them in their quest but pray that novelty does not displace a more nurturing means of fostering enduring friendships and love.
