He does make rude and blasphemous comments. He’s said some derogatory comments about the priest. Calling him a fag. And even worse. One time we were at Mass, they were talking about Lee Harvery Oswald and he said God bless him for killing JFK. I think that was on Easter sunday.

GodSavesAll, I’ve got an uncle like this. I understand what you are going through. He goes to mass with us when he visits, doesn’t take communion, and then starts making remarks about how religious people are phonies all the way home. Something is bothering his conscience badly, but he won’t admit it. His behavior and comments seem to indicate this.

In your case…

It’s either something bothering your father’s conscience, a mental condition, or there is something else very wrong spiritually.

Tell you what, it may be nothing but something bothering your father’s conscience, but ask your question to Bro. Ignatius Mary at Saint Mike’s and see what he says.

Does this behavior only manifest in church and during religious discussions and prayer? Or, is this an ongoing thing?
 
I said he was ONCE an agnostic meaning he ONCE as an agnostic. He’s not anymore. He’s Christian now. I don’t have a problem he’s against the Catholic Church. He doesn’t have to go to one though. No where in the bible does it state you have to go to a Catholic Church. He OPPOSES the Catholic Church. Why would you go to a church you’re OPPOSED to? He can go to a non-demoninational church. There’s nothing wrong with going to one.

P.S. Thanks I didnt post my question on there.
 
Ahhh - I skimmed too much.

He’s evidently trying to harangue/harass you out of the Church. Stand firm! Go to Church, with him or without him. There should be no talking at Mass. Maybe sit up in front?
