In the most ideal of scenarios, the Catholic way of living is one where publicly scandalous, immoral behavior is not accepted nor ignored, nor countenanced nor the people who publicly live scandalous lives and who are in morally condemned situations, and for a number of reasons, such as, endangering the Faith of others, scandalizing others etc.
Example: an entire town is Catholic and practices the Faith. Suddenly one man becomes an unrepentant and obstinate public adulterer; he is forced to leave town because the entire population will not accept nor tolerate his actions nor smile and pretend nothing is going on and treat him the same as those who do keep the Faith and Catholic Morals.
Other examples are open concubinage, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity etc.
So this is the ideal way of things: such things are not tolerated by the faithful Catholic and will not be set aside and the people who obstinately refuse to change will not be treated the same way as the rest.
But now, in the dreadful days that we live in, where almost everywhere there is corruption and no one practices Catholic morals nor upholds Catholic doctrine, what would happen if an adult who has lived accepting all these things and receiving and socializing with family members who live in such condemned situations, were to suddenly convert 100% and decided to uphold Catholic doctrine and morals?
What is such a person to do who, up to now, has always received and treated family members living in adultery and concubinage like all the rest and has lived like such things don't matter?
When you realize your entire family is living in paganism, even those who are Novus Ordo, and you want to start living the life, what are you to do? I believe a wholesale condemnation and denunciation would probably be imprudent. But i don't think remaining quiet, and never saying anything at all, even though you know all you see is wrong and condemned, and treating those living in adultery, concubinage etc. like nothing is happening is a good thing either.
So what should one do? Tell them the truth as tactfully and charitably as possible, even though this will mean that they will probably all turn against you and hate you? Wouldn't this be an opportunity to merit and give witness to the Faith and to let them know you will stand for Our Lord? Would "Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." apply here?
Would you have to let them know you will no longer be like you were before?
I know this is all very hard, especially if your family is numerous and you have lived with them for years and grew up with them etc. I know people who are "conservative" and realize that their family members are living in morally condemned situations but never say a word to them.
Has anyone here faced this situation where you had to take a stand for the truth and the Faith and were persecuted by your own family?
