the brother in law crossed a boundary by lecturing your child on his faith. NOT his job, let alone to criticize it.
I've never understood the whole "bash another denomination" thing anyhow. Why aren't people just glad I find comfort in my faith?
Same for your bil. And your son is YOUR son, and it's not his uncle's job to lecture him on the "evils of Catholicism".
And I'm making an assumption here, but I'd bet you a big glass of evil Merlot wine
that his "info" and "insights" are inaccurate and bigoted...
So that's the boundary I meant.
Sorry it bugged me so much but it touched a chord I may discuss later-
okay now
the first and only time I ever knew someone didn't like Catholics
was when my mil refused to attend the baptism of our son, her only grandchild at the time.
When my h asked her why, she was on the speaker phone and said
"b/c it's Catholic"...
while there were other issues she had - THAT SENTENCE changed our r
forever...
Kudos to you for handling things with so much grace.
Your h knows it, and he his HIS stuff to deal with IF and WHEN that happens... but you won't have any regrets for being a woman of dignity and grace in adversity. You are also modelling that for your son.
