I need help.
So my brother and his girlfriend are not officially living together. They have a dog together and are rather open about immoral things. They spend nights together etc.
She comes to all the family events.
We are worried it is going to infiltrate our family. How would be the best way to go around this??? We have young children,and we don’t know what to do. Both of them are catholic.

How young are your children?

If they are very little (under 7ish) than simply ensure that they don’t go to their uncles. Be very clear about things if necessary. Oh, stacy left it at Uncle Joe’s place.

If they are older gradeschoolers or tweens (7ish to 13ish) it may be prudent to have a “good people make bad decisions” talk

If they are 13+ straight out tell them that what the are doing is not ok and it has unseen consequences. Elaborate as necessary.
 
I’m not sure what you mean about being “open about immoral things”. If they are alluding to their sex life in front of your children, then you have a right to tell them to keep their personal business more private.
Other than that I agree with what XV said.
 
We teach our children right and wrong, we teach our children that we love people and we leave judging souls to God.

That’s a bit basic in terms of Religious Education. You don’t judge people in the sense that you can’t say what their interior state is. But you cartainly can and should judge actions.
 
Thus the words I selected “judging souls”

Yeah but this isn’t a case of judging souls. This is a case of parents trying to set a good example for their kids.
