He is still activie in his church?
How did he agree to raise his children catholic? He is really okay with the fact that you do not honor his “priesthood”?
I’m very curious, I am dating an LDS boy right now.
I just PM you…

I am curious to know what you mean about 'honoring his preisthood"?

If I may say so, I think this thread has outlived its purpose.

You know what CTR means and you don’t have objections to the inherent message, just the religious stigma that accompanies it. I perfectly understand that.

It’s just best if you politely return the rings to your mother in-law and request that she not send any LDS related items to your children. Let her know that you’ve done your best to be as tolerant as possible, however her insistence to disobey your wishes is putting a strain on your relationship with her which can (and likely will) reflect on the relationship she has with her grandchildren.

I highly doubt she bought these gifts with malice in mind so just remember to be polite and civil, just like you are here 🙂

Evangelism in Mormonism is much stronger than in Catholicism so part of this will just have to be chalked up to a personality trait. This is just how your mother-in-law is, and remember she’s likely not doing it in spite of you. I’m sure there’s a nice happy medium you two could reach if you would only talk to HER like you’re talking to us.

Best of luck and remember to pray.
 
Are LDS taught to not respect the wishes of other family members if they are not mormons?
Yes. They are taught that we non-Mormons are so benighted, so darkened in our intellect, that we do not know what is good for us, so the Mormons have to choose for us.
