I'm a 15 year old trad. I have a problem 🙁

OP: Your parents have expressed to you that they don’t like you reading those particular books. To me (and I’m a parent six times over) that means you shouldn’t read them, regardless if your parents did or did not say, “I expressly forbid you to read them.” And you, in obedience as a Catholic teenager seeking to follow God’s law, should not read them.

These books are not necessary too complex for a 15 years old.
They are good spiritual books and only you could determine if you understand them and if they bring you to more holiness.
Reading them alone will not bring you to holiness, but to understand who somone may have a deeper spiritual life. Theory and action are different.

I think what your parents mean is something different than complexity. They may be afraid that you are becoming “too much spiritual” or “too much catholic” or “fanatic” etc. Being “hot” in spirituality is not always understant if you are less cold. Teenagers can be very hot because of their age.

you may ask them to explain more what they think if you are worrying and explain why you like to read these books.

With all the posts about obedience people seem to have forgotten that God comes before obedience to our earthly parents. Parents are not supposed to prevent their kids from being formed in the faith. Doing so is not actually something they have a legitimate authority to do.
