havok579257 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 So my question is, if your family(not wife and children) but parents/siblings don't practice the faith anymore and consistantly use the Lord's name carelessly, if you do not correct them is that a sin? Obviously the family would know your a catholic, who goes the church on sundays and the faith is important to you. I ask this question because I have asked many priests in confession and not gotten a solid answer on this, if its a sin or not. One priest said if its your family and they use the Lord's name in vain then your have an obligation to correct them but i don't know if he was referring to family such as wife and siblings or he meant all family like brothers/sisters/parents. this has been bugging me for a long time and i can not seem to get a solid answer on it.

Theoketos Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Its hard to get a solid answer because you have given many circumstances with a near infinite set of variables. Correct them with Love when it is a big deal, say nothing but pray about it is small circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
