This is a point which needs to be considered seriously. If there is a choice which has to be made, which is more important:And what i hear in this post is, you’re ok with sacrificing that marriage to support your son’s disordered lifestyle.
Other posters have addressed this already, but I strongly suggest you rethink some things. This type of violence is not helpful. And may be sinful.In the case of my son, had he ever uttered the words, “Dad I think, or I am, gay,” he’d have went to the hospital and I to jail for breaking his jaw. Me and my side of the family don’t put up with such. Wife can be as nice and polite as she wants, that’s her call. I state facts to my kids, not avoid issues.
How, I didn’t attack anyone? I’m just talking about compatibility, so I would expect a fellow Catholic to understand.I don’t think that’s a charitable thing to say.
But I saw her react negatively to a similar line of thought. By temperament I meant the views and personality she expresses, it was a mistake on my part, but I’m not sure what word would work better.You said her “temperament wouldn’t respond well”. You don’t know how someone could respond. She might be open to truth. Her temperament isn’t her.
Mr. H and the Steward.
Mr. H. Ha! Steward, how are you, my old boy? How do things go on at home?
Steward. Bad enough, your honor; the magpie’s dead.
H. Poor Mag! So he’s gone. How came he to die?
S. Overeat himself, sir.
H. Did he? A greedy dog; why, what did he get he liked so well?
S. Horseflesh, sir; he died of eating horseflesh.
H. How came he to get so much horseflesh?
S. All your father’s horses, sir.
H. What! Are they dead, too?
S. Ay, sir; they died of overwork.
H. And why were they overworked, pray?
S. To carry water, sir.
H. To carry water! And what were they carrying water for?
S. Sure, sir, to put out the fire.
H. Fire! What fire?
S. O, sir, your father’s house is burned to the ground.
H. My father’s house burned down! And how came it set on fire?
S. I think, sir, it must have been the torches.
H. Torches! What torches?
S. At your mother’s funeral.
H. My mother dead!
S. Ah, poor lady! She never looked up, after it.
H. After what?
S. The loss of your father.
H. My father gone, too?
S. Yes, poor gentleman! He took to his bed as soon as he heard of it.
H. Heard of what?
S. The bad news, sir, and please your honor.
H. What! More miseries! More bad news!
S. Yes, sir; your bank has failed, and your credit is lost, and you are not worth a shilling in the world. I made bold, sir, to wait on you about it, for I thought you would like to hear the news.

The Church preference is that a married couple (husband and wife) adopts a child. Single parents adopting isn’t ideal unless the adopting person is a relative or close family friend (like a single aunt, uncle, or Godparent).But is it Church teaching that a same-sex couple may not adopt children? Ever?
So you’d rather your son was “happy in this life” than to actually go to heaven? Seems a bit odd for a Catholic.This is where the problem lies: we got a wedding invitation in the mail last week. It was perfect because I’ve always wanted grandkids and to have my son be happy even if that means he follows a homosexual lifestyle.
He is correct. You cannot celebrate a gay “marriage” or relationship as a catholic. You are essentially saying that you approve of their sin and wish them to continue sinning.My husband refuses to go.
Not exactly her place but she is also right. I wouldn’t cut off contact from your son altogether but I would make it clear that you cannot attend their celebration and explain why. Maybe in a few months you could start inviting them around again but you shouldn’t do anything to approve of their relationship.My mother-in-law messaged me on Facebook to tell me I should only support my son from afar and not attend his wedding, and if I do then I’m not the woman my husband deserves. We never had a good relationship but I thought that‘s normal for mother-in-laws.
He probably thinks the same thing about you. You have to understand that he has obviously formed his conscience in the faith and is following that.My husband has begun sleeping on the couch. I miss him, but he’s not the man I knew.
Why do you think you’ll find approval for gay marriage on a catholic website?I’m coming here because I need advice from like-minded people.
It’s priests who affirm sin that are destroying people’s lives. Homosexual tendencies are a disorder. I know that’s not a popular thing to say but for years this was recognised to be the case. That doesn’t mean that gay people should be abused or mistreated, but recognising that it is not a good thing is important. Just like straight men in their 40’s who exclusively/obsessively try to get with very young women (17+) could be said to be suffering from a disordered mentality.The priest told us there is nothing wrong with my son
St. Monica‘’s devotion to God and her love for her unbelieving, sinful son—St. Augustine—are quite appropriate and helpful to bring to light here. The eventual conversion of her son to the Catholic faith was an answer to her relentless prayers to God and her commitment to her son. Her son later became a great saint and a Doctor of the Church.-Love your son the way St. Monica loved St. Augustine. A mother’s prayer availeth much. You don’t even have to get preachy with him. But every night before you sleep and every morning when you wake up, pray to God for your son’s (and his partner’s) and their adopted children’s (if they get them) salvation.
Yup, I get troll vibes too. The responses are just too on the nose. They’re like perfectly calibrated to rile people up. Calling shenanigans on this one.One post, joined one hour ago…
