How must a married couple deal with their unmarried parents? Must the couple forbid them from coming over and staying at their house, as one would forbid fornicators from staying in their house? Certainly, one must respect one's parents (4th commandment).

Generally speaking, I would not welcome an unmarried couple ... as couple into my house, and even less so if they were sharing sleeping quarters.  I might entertain them as individuals but would never receive them as a couple.  One of both of them being your parents doesn't trump this.

This is a serious problem that personally affects pretty much everyone, who wasn't raised Catholic but found the true religion at a late stage in their lives. How do you deal with parents and other relatives living with an unmarried spouse?

When my father remarried, I mentioned in an email to him that I preferred that my children not meet his new 'wife'. I really can't fathom why newly 'married' parents feel the need to impose their new partner on the entire family, signing every Christmas card and email with both names every single time. As I was the only one never to congratulate my father on his 'wedding', it goes without saying that there is a huge unspoken matter at family events. Everyone knows what I wrote to him because he copied his bile laden reply to everyone in the family.

I don't know if I dealt with this the right way, but this is how I did it and it's a very  uncomfortable situation, But saying nothingit was quite unbearable.  My children could rightfully expect to have wise and doting grandparents, but this is not the case, and as they want to be cremated, there won't be a grave to flower either.

One postive thing, is that this situation is ideal for explaining the crisis in the Church to young children. You simply explain that the world is run by Satan who has inverted everything.  The crisis in the family is for the same reasons we can no longer trust the 'pope' and the 'church' heirarchy. We pray regularly for the conversion of the 'pope' and our family to Catholicsm.

Did your father remarry after divorcing your mother, or did he remarry after your mother died?  If it is the later, you have absolutely no cause to object and it is quite uncharitable of you to try and cut your step-mother out of the picture.  If it is the former, however, it is quite an unfortunate situation.

I think we should clarify what is going on. Sometimes the answer might be 'yes' and sometimes the answer might be 'no.'

This reply should earn you the esteemed position of Spokesman of the Bogus Ordo.

No my mother is still alive.

No my mother is still alive.

I see.  Then your case is very unfortunate, and I understand your position.

Yes, but one isn't morally obliged to fraternally correct in all situations.
