Hello fellow catholics :-) im having a serious issue in regards to staying close with my sister and still remaining a true follower of the lord. my sister happens to be a lesbian and recently she decided to get engaged and is planning on getting "married". the problem is that she wants me to not only support her at this event but also "walk" her down the isle. as a true and devout catholic, i told my mother that i cannot be there to support my sister in something that i dont believe is right and a mockery of what a marriage really is. i do want to support my sister because i do love her very much but i do not want to support something i feel is morally wrong and could offend god. i guess my ? is it still okay to go and support her or should i stay true to my belief and decline the invitation, and possibly ruin if not sever all ties with my sister. any and all help would be much appreciated

"For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. " Mt 10:35

"He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me." Mt 10:37

There is no way a Catholic can take any part in this either by assisting or even being present. Your presence would imply consent.

Sorry.

Talk to your priest, it is the safest course of action.

Stay away from the whole situation. It is a sign to your sister that she is up to satan's work. Keep her in prayer. No congratulation cards, no gifts and above all even stay away from their house, and you don't invite them into yours. It is a sign to them that you are slowly accepting them if you do have them in your home. Don't go to any of their invites either. You honestly can not say that you would enjoy their company. Hold Fast to your Faith.

My friend had to say no to her only son when he married a jew in the ѕуηαgσgυє. She fought within herself and her husband. When the day came she was not there. She is happy for keeping the Faith and her word that she would not attend.

My cousin has a grand daughter that has a lesbian and when my cousin's son invites her over to his home and my cousin is there she picks up and leaves. Her son scolds his mother(my cousin). How very sad!

Whatever you do, stay as far away as you can. If you are of the New Order (not church) don't listen to anyone who says that you can not be judgmental. Christ told us that "you would know them by their fruits". You judge by the outward signs and you have plenty of Red Flags.

How else will your sister learn. So show her signs that you are praying for her conversion from satan and his works.

You will not regret your decision to stand for truth as Our Lady stood by the Cross knowing that His Precious Blood would be in all the sacraments to save man. That is Love.

If you attend, it will be a sin to you. So, if your family scolds you, so what! It is a cross that you kiss and bear! You may be the minority but it does not mean that the majority is right.
