I personally know David Rubin. My husband has worked with him. He's not a fan of Catholic teachings. Perhaps that's guiding what I see here. Thoughts about Bishop Barron? Does anyone see what I see? (I don't want to say so I don't skew perceptions). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwJygi9nNiE
Hello Fathers,
My 15-year-old daughter has a best friend who was baptized into the Catholic Church about a year ago. She is now refusing confirmation and appears to be influencing my daughter in that direction. My daughter has, so far, held her own, but I have set a boundary that they can only spend time together on some weekends if they first attend Mass with us.
When the friend comes with us, her behavior is often very disrespectful—talking during Mass, making gestures toward me, giggling, and at one point even taking the Eucharist and putting it in her pocket, later saying it "it's just a piece of bread.” On the drive home, she also shares views I find very troubling, such as saying it is fine to take the morning-after pill and that abortion is a personal choice, etc.
I understand she is 15 and has had a difficult past, including losing her father two years ago, and we try to be thoughtful about her circumstances. However, this past Sunday after Mass, I drove her home when her mother wasn’t there and she couldn’t get into the house, and I ended up losing my temper with her. My daughter is now feeling embarrassed by the situation and wants to try it again this weekend. My question is, "how do priests handle disrespect from people?" I'm sure this is the wrong question but I would like to handle this appropriately.
