My daugter in law is not catholic, does not attend mass regularly and does not believe in alot of our faith. When she married our son, she did not convert but agreed that the children would be raised catholic. she went to sign her up for catechism and she is considering home teaching. I don't agree with this, I have spoken with her about it telling her how can you teach something you yourself don't believe or practice. I think my grand daughter would get more out of catechism by attending classes which will be taught by someone who believes and is knowledgable about our faith. Am I wrong.
I should have stated she does not know much about the faith, she has alot of misconceptions and when you try and tell her the correct belief and why, she simply states that is not how she believes. Which is fine she is an adult but when it comes to my grand daughter who will be making her first communion, she needs to be taught by someone who knows the faith. I should say once you tell my grand daughter something new - you can expect at least a dozen questions.
My son works away from home m-f and this cannot be changed at this time, my DIL is a stay at home mom. He was unaware of this home school idea. He feels the way I do, she does not know the faith and at this time has no interest in converting or even learning the faith, he tried to have her take classes and if she chooses not to convert that would be fine, but it would give her a background to the teachings of the faith for their kids. He feels that in the school setting she will meet more friends, eventually become more involved in the church program (youth programs). I love my DIL but I have to say I can now see why some people have problems with the mixing of faiths in the home setting. This will cause issues in their marriage. What she agreed to before the marriage is now changing and it is causing issues. I don't know what to say to my son or my DIL.
