Yeah but that could stop any chance of their potential conversion or me being at a good influence on them.

Not saying this is you, but this is the typical excuse that trad families use to keep ties with relatives who dress immodestly, etc.. Sometimes (rarely) that might be legit, but what it most often is, is human respect weakness - the expectation of which is they will corrupt you, not the other way around.

In reality, when they know why you have disowned or can have nothing to do with them, *that* is your good influence, *that* is their incentive for conversion - meanwhile you have freed yourself (and those in your care) of any bad influence etc. from their company.

This thought may be a trick of the devil. One cannot be prudent enough when it comes to preserving one's own Faith and morals.

I cannot recall which verse, but I do remember that St. Paul teaches that bad company corrupts good morals.

If people are obstinate in their error, one may be morally certain of their damnation. At that point, it would take a miracle to convert them, which God does not grant that often.

You said it way better then me, 1Cor. 15:33 "Be not seduced: Evil communications corrupt good manners."

Thank you for finding the verse. I think your description was quite eloquent and satisfactory!
