Great presentation. If a child is a devout Catholic and his parents are nonbelievers, is he required to warn them that they are living in mortal sin if there is no danger of death? If I understood correctly, it would not be a mortal sin to refrain from warning them if the child thought the correction either have no effect or cause the situation to be worse, but I just wanted to make sure I understood this or if I was wrong.
Yeah if the child thinks there's no point in warning them (there rarely is for warning non Catholics), then they wouldn't be culpable. The only time you are bound to warn people with no hope of changing their minds Is when it's a very public fault, especially one committed by a Catholic. People that commit these need to be publicly corrected, preferably by their priest or bishop, to instruct the laity that their actions or beliefs are in no way acceptable.
@@houndofheaven7563 Hey Hound! You mentioned ''there rarely is for warning Non-Catholics'', do these precepts still apply to Non-Catholics generally or only in particular circumstances? If at all? Since they would be considered Christian (I will mean here Protestants and/or Orthodox for simplicity).
