Boy to you come to the wrong place :rolleyes:

Anything you get here won’t be worth the time you took to read it.

Go discuss it with your priest and resolve the issues with his (name removed by moderator)ut.

Hummm…I guess you have not read the posts in the thread… I think documents from the various Bishops are certainly worth the time it takes to read it…

No, this is not a good idea at all. You coud move out and allow her to live in the house and you live elsewhere. Or, find her some friends/family to live with. Or find her some assistance and additional subsidized housing.

But, no, do not live together even if trying to do so as “brother/sister.” There are many reasons. It is a bad example for her children. It is a near occasion of sin. And, it could put you in a position that you are unable to get out of. You say you cannot marry any time soon. Such a situation means there are impediments or obstacles. It is unwise to create a dependent relationship with this woman and have her kids become overly attached to you when things may not work out.

Have you ever looked into getting married into the Catholic Church? It takes awhile and isn’t something you can “hurry up”. The fact they can’t hurry it up doesn’t mean there is something wrong with the relationship and they shouldn’t get married.

I think you should talk to your priest. I don’t understand why living together while being chaste until your married would be wrong. As long as you were living as brother an sister for that time, you should be fine. But ask your priest to be sure.
 
I’m surprised the church doesn’t have a welfare system for members like the LDS church has to help you get on your feet.

There are LOTS of such in the Church run by dioceses, or parishes etc or run by groups of Christians within the Church…one could say we are the largest Charity in the world…

Things like Catholic Charities, St. Vincent de Paul Society…on and on and on…
