Re: An interesting thing I did for discussion. Was I right or wrong?

[ QUOTE ] I really don't think either action is wrong. [/ QUOTE ] You don't think it's wrong to lie? [/ QUOTE ] Nah, I don't think it is especially wrong to lie. But apart from that I have been in similar situations and done the ceremony and still not lied. Priests can usually tailor stuff a little if you explain the situation to them.

Long as you made it clear to her that you would take responsibility for him, which was very likely her main concern, you did nothing wrong in not proclaiming it in a way that you didn't agree with. Whatever.

My mother wanted to feel secure that after her passing I would step up to the plate and take care of my bro. This is something I would do anyway, and I believe she knew that, but she wanted extra assurance. [/ QUOTE ] Maybe you want to discuss with your mother the possibility of becoming a co-guardian when your brother reaches 18. My girlfriend was in a similar situation. She has a mentally disabled sister and she became a co-guardian for her sister. Her situation is a bit different because her sister is over 18 years old.

I'll definately be giving this some thought.

Posting without reading any of the thread, but it seems like a good spot for some form of compromise to me. Little less religion. Little more legal guardian and all that jazz.

[ QUOTE ] short answer = wrong [/ QUOTE ] What is the long answer? [/ QUOTE ] I have 2 "godchildren". No actual children of my own. I am no fan of the catholic church, to put it mildly. The rituals make me somewhat nausiated. Anyways, I nearly skipped one of their confirmation ceremonies or whatever they call it. A big coming out affair where the kids are waltzed out in their little white robes, and such, to become members of the church. Official indoctrination I guess. Actually, I was strongly opposed, when I think back. Basically, I put the desires of the people close to me ahead of my own. That's it. No mystery. I don't think your action was immoral. That is a little strong. In situations such as this, I see no conflict in rewarding those loyal to you with what amounts, to yourself, as personal inconvenience. That's how I see it anyways.
