Hi, Anna —
Thanks for the question.
What you are suggesting is not sinful, in and of
itself, but it could cause scandal. It could also
put you in a position of additional temptation.
As Catholics, we must do our utmost to avoid the
occasion to sin. This kind of proximity with someone
with whom you are in love, may make it difficult
to keep the relationship chaste until you marry, so
while it may not be sinful, it's not really appropriate.
That said; if it is truly:
- a financial emergency
- all other alternatives have been explored, and
- it's for a short period of time
then you certainly don't want the person living
on the street.
Just make sure you discuss and agree upon ground
rules and build in fail-safe measures that will enable
you to maintain a chaste relationship until you marry.
John
