[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honest question for you OP: have your in-laws actually made any direct reference to you going to hell? Or is that your way of summarizing a longer version of what they say - something along the lines of the Catholic church being the most complete and direct path to God?

I ask because I have a very Catholic husband and Catholic in-laws, I'm not Catholic, not even Christian, but I've attended various Catholic things over the years and the Church's stance on non-Catholics is not that they are going to hell. In fact, the Church doesn't claim to know that anyone is in hell at all, because God is merciful and we have no way of knowing the bounds of what his mercy would forgive.  [/quote]

Good question, and you're right about what the Catholic Church actually teaches (post Vatican II, at least!).  It's both.  I've gotten the spiel about the Catholic Church being the one true church [i]and [/i]blatant concerns about the state of my and DC's souls.  As well as DH's, if we're being honest, since we didn't have a Catholic wedding.

To PP, no, I don't see any kind of gaslighting.

To another PP, maybe it is a husband problem.[/quote]
