PHILADELPHIA, PA (Catholic Online) - Young women are using the website SeekingArrangement.com to find older, wealthy men to pay their tuition in exchange for a "relationship" according to the website. The website refers to the women as "Sugar Babies" and the men as "Sugar Daddies."

According to the website, "The population of college Sugar Babies in Pennsylvania has steadily increased every year, with Temple leading all major universities this year," according to founder Brandon Wade. "While some may argue that these women are just using men for their own personal gain, I believe that they are proactive in pursuing a higher education."

Although the site does not overtly endorse prostitution, there are those who claim is it nothing less. The site does not mention the exchange of sexual activity for money, but one would be naive to assume its overt goal to form "friendships" is anything but a veil.

Of course, it seems ironic that in pursuit of education, men and women would engage in behavior that suggests a distinct lack of it, at least in a moral sense.

It doesn't surprise me that Temple would rank high on this list. It is, approximately, the 36th largest university in the country. Moreover, Temple students have traditionally not been from among the manor born.

However, Temple, I am sad to say, is a school which would do nothing to discourage such situational morality. Any faculty candidate who would question the morality of such activity would not be hired. Were he hired, he would not be tenured. The university embodies what the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger described as "the dictatorship of moral relativism." Temple embodies the decay and corruption of modern American academia. (Temple's founder, the REV. Russell Conwell, must surely be spinning in his on-campus grave.)

In other words, Temple does not differ substantially in comparison to nearly any college or university in America, including too many which claim to be Catholic. I may not differ enough from your kid's public school, and perhaps even Catholic school. Don't kid yourself.

Without faith in God anything goes. No one really seems to want rules to govern human interactions anymore and that is the problem. No right,no wrong,all is permissible anything goes. Nothing is disgusting when disgusting is become fashionable. Sex,drugs and rock and roll culture is fashionable as is the GBLT and politically left viewpoints,all fashionable. Catholic culture is restrictive because it teaches discipline. Is discipline now evil? If it is than everything that was once thought evil is good? You decide! I won't tell you what to think. The world we have and the circumstances we live in,dictates the sets of circumstances that we accept as a so called truth. If there is no truth than there is no law or good and evil,as it seems life is as one would simply say is,fantasy,fiction as reality all blend into the acceptance of what is bland,unreal and untrue but that becomes the new enlightenment? The sexual revolution is an example but to this day it is undefined. Sexually any relationship mutually agreed upon seems alright but because of it women and men lose rape cases because the law is incapable of definining what it is that constitutes a rape. Without rules law is a game show. Come on down! The eve of destruction is the death of the human soul. Jesus! Saves Souls! Silly! I would think not! I guess I am in the fantasy land of religion,faith and hope. Is it really best to be a rolling stone in a world of sex,drugs and rock and roll? The US constitution is considered by those sworn to protect it as out dated by one who would swear on any old book to protect it during inauguration,because the Bible is as any book ever written,questionable truth? No truth,no oath and certainly no established laws to govern all fairly. In God we trust must be replaced by in odd we trust. Odd is now America? You decide! In odd we trust as the truth to defend unto death do us part? Odd is not truth traditionally but today it seems odd rules. Odd is truth? In odd we trust! Sorry! I for one think not! In God we trust! I bet my life on in God we trust and not in odd we trust. In odd is sin,in sin is nothing as real or true. Who is the devil? Meet odd!

This is something that has been going on for the last 40 years. I don't know how wide spread this is but certainly this is not a good thing.

I was never a 'sugar baby', but I have been approached by one 'sugar daddy' and he made it absolutely clear that he was NOT after sex, and sex would NOT be part of the arrangement. I declined simply because it was weird to me. But that makes me think that this thing is not necessarily prostitution and we should not be so quick to condemn it. Perhaps some sort of mentoring relationship appeals to some people, maybe those without children. And I don't think that's something we should judge so harshly.
