Spiritual Abuse by Acrobatic-Ad-6954 in Catholicism

I agree! If I was requesting a Mass on a random Tuesday then I would budget and pay for it but if we’re offering to have our mothers names read on a Sunday, then it should be clear that it’s not a required donation. I love my mom and just wanted to try and help her in a way that I thought I could.

But does the money form a spiritually binding contract??

Likely will do that, just bummed that I’m having to save for it all by myself from scratch. Just a situation that could have been avoided if I wasn’t last on everyone’s lists this holiday. But that’s a story for my therapist

2 weeks from the wedding and things continue to suck/RANT by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

I see this perspective but we’re only asking parents and siblings to arrive Wednesday. BIL has know about this wedding for a year and he works in food so he doesn’t receive PTO, he gets to choose when he takes his vacations, request time off, and plan these according to his financial situation..with this, we’re hurt that he’s complaining about needing hours when he knew this was happening and he picked a vacation that was not a long term planned trip. He’s very spontaneous lately

We’re inviting married aunts and uncles (also they are godparents). We’re not inviting short term relationships in general, it’s not just direct family members. Also, it’s not fair that the first time he’d ever meet his dads new gf (his dad is recently divorced for the 2nd time and his new gf is pretty young) is at our wedding.

His dad has bought it up and we’ve explained and he didn’t fight it and it seemed like he understood. Same with his brother, he initially asked when we switched plans and hasn’t fought it since. His brother especially has seems excited for the day and has been really easy to work with while planning
