The other day January 3 hour 3 Drew Mariani had Fr. Altier talking about generational healing. This is an unfortunate topic since it contradicts teaching on baptism "
1263 By Baptism all sins are forgiven, original sin and all personal sins, as well as all punishment for sin.66 In those who have been reborn nothing remains that would impede their entry into the Kingdom of God, neither Adam’s sin, nor personal sin, nor the consequences of sin, the gravest of which is separation from God."

Let me add another Catechism paragraph "
1250 Born with a fallen human nature and tainted by original sin, children also have need of the new birth in Baptism to be freed from the power of darkness and brought into the realm of the freedom of the children of God, to which all men are called.50 The sheer gratuitousness of the grace of salvation is particularly manifest in infant Baptism. The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth."

The point of this is that our baptism gives us the ability to overcome the emotional scars existing in our families, from past trauma. If your father had PTSD from his military service, his emotional irregularities would have adversely affected you. It is necessary to understand that, and forgive. It is a realistic thing, not in any way related to Mormon teachings. We only need to understand, and forgive, growing beyond.

We don’t need to dead-dunk our ancestors in order to obtain freedom from God’s punishment on us for their sins.

Yes. I listened to his talk, and he goes into generalities with each generation. Clearly, the study of your family history can uncover the specifics, and how this has affected you, and may affect your children.

Right. I see it as more psychological than demonic. Accepting that psychological and spiritual are intrinsically intertwined.
 
It is a complicated issue but the point is what ever we choose to do is our fault. If I chose to be drunkard, gamble excessively, womanize, abusive is my fault and not someone else’s.

But we must consider diminished culpability, and lose our judgmental attitude towards those from troubled families. It is not their fault that they were born into a troubled family. Empower those who escape to help other members. Look into family history to discover some of our own hidden sins. Even pride and lack of compassion.

I know a successful man from a troubled family who helps other members in trouble, and freely discusses the dynamics. Irish, of course. 😁

If you refuse to help others, it is your fault, and no-one else’s.

I did not say not to seek help nor help those who are in need. My point is, this idea that my actions can be attributed to some family curse or sins of my ancestors is not right. My actions are mine and if sinful then my sin.
 
I agree. Our baptism enables us to overcome. We have freedom to not sin.
