Hi, guys—
I have a serious question.
My daughter is getting married, and we are putting together our wedding guest list.
Unfortunately, we have an openly gay couple in our family, and some openly heterosexuals that are living together. I feel that for us to invite those in the family with a guest would be wrong as it would be saying we agree with these arrangements, which are contrary to Church teaching.
It would also be a scandal to me.
Because most everyone knows how strongly I love the Catholic Faith, it would look like I really don't believe in what the Church teaches.
If any one of you could shed some light on this situation I would appreciate it, not so much for me, but for my daughter.
I think she is worried about the criticism she will encounter if she doesn't invite their significant others.
- It will be hard for me too, but isn't that what our faith is about? — going against the current times and being radical for the truth?
I will pray to the Holy Spirit that I listen carefully to your response. I will be open to the possibility that I may be wrong. I can be obstinate when I want it my way!
God bless you,
Joyce A. Williams
