ok so i'm 16 right and my family isn't very religious (but very spiritual) expect for my grandmothers (God rest their souls), grandfather and granduncle who are (/were) very devout catholics. so clearly not a very religious upbringing except for when i had sometimes gone to church with my grandparents and granduncle (before he moved). even then i had to beg my mom to go. i didn't really know what i believed in because my mom always wanted to keep those conversations about God limited, she didn't want my grandparents talking about it with me. the most i had ever learned about God was in history class last school year when were learning about Jesus, and the information that i learned was the only thing that was keeping me from being an atheist just last summer after i was being mocked and told that God doesn't exist. so basically i was agnostic, and really sad because i thought that it was all a lie. i was kind of like "just because Jesus existed and was crucified and resurrected, that's evidence for Jesus, not God" (i had never read the Bible a day in my life) but more recently like last in november i started getting into christian apologetics and learning what christians believe and why and the arguments for God and i'm back to being catholic (no hate please) and i'm trying to be more devout but it's hard when my family is very against that, even to my grandfather who's very devout and never misses mass and does the 3PM prayer and says grace and prays in the morning, in the night, he fasts, reads his Bible, he's very devout (my granduncle too) and my aunt is very critical of him for it. but he's also teaching me more about our faith and why we believe and why it's good to live for God. though i already know, i'm fine with him telling me again. he's teaching me more about the divine mercy prayer and how to pray to the rosary and things like that. so to get to the point, i have a 10 year old brother. the same way i was raised, where the conversations about God were limited and not religiously, that's how my mom is raising him too. sometime last week he told my 15 year old brother some very, very, very bad things while they were arguing. it was so bad that i had suggested that he come with my grandfather and i to church to ask God for forgiveness. he agrees, then the day comes for us to go. he seems excited, he wants to go and ask for forgiveness. he's never been to a church, but he did say they're beautiful buildings so he wanted to see one. see, he's excited and willing to go! even though my grandfather was a bit hesitant because admittedly my brother has an issue with staying still, he also suggested that he come with us and ask for God's forgiveness for the bad things he said. so then comes 4PM, we're going to the 4:30PM mass. then comes my aunt and my mom, they come to my brother saying things like "do you really wanna go?", "it's an hour long, are you sure?", "you're gonna have to sit, stand, kneel, and pray, are you sure?", "you can't have your phone!", "it's gonna be really loud!", "it's kind of boring", and then ultimately, "you really shouldn't go!". and they try to tell him that as long as he says sorry to my brother and he forgives him, that's all that matters. me and my grandfather are like what? so then my aunt says that he didn't say those things to God so God then doesn't care and would rather be confused if he asked Him for forgiveness, but he needed to apologize to my brother and ask for his forgiveness. what? so then even though he said he really wanted to go, there they had convinced him to not go! i asked him why and he said what really made him not want to go was how long it was and the fact that he couldn't use his phone. so then i tell him that God literally died such a terrible, painful, slow death for so many days just to save us, and you can't give Him an hour of your time? then he's like wow, he never knew that. he asked me more about, like who did it and stuff. then he completely misunderstood what i said and tells his friend (whom he was on the phone with) that pontius pilate not only crucified Jesus, but God too, so they not only did it too His son, but 2023 years ago they did it to Him too. what?? that wasn't what i said at all, so i tried to explain more. i tried to explain to him about the Trinity, and he also doesn't know about this. he also doesn't know that Jesus is God, he thinks that Jesus was God's son who had been crucified and that was all. he knows nothing about the teachings of Jesus or the Bible or anything. which i'm not judging him, because at a time i didn't know either. but he wants to learn more about it and just as i'm trying to explain more, my mom comes in saying "that's enough, go with your grandfather," with a very nasty tone. so then i come back from church and my brother asks me how was it, that he really wanted to go. i tell him about it but i also feel really bad because i remember it was like that for me when i didn't know anything about God, but at least i was able to go to church! i've been thinking that i really wanna teach my brother more about God and christianity, like i really wanna show him the same christian apologetic videos that made me believe in God again and choose to live by Him. i know i should also ask my grandfather and granduncle about this, but what i fear is that my mother won't want him learning about it or that his attention span won't let him learn it. i'm treading on thin ice with my mother btw, she's barely tolerant and far from accepting of my devoutness. like the other members of my family believes in God but not in a Biblical way, like in a spiritual way and they like zodiac signs and palm readings and things like that. so she doesn't believe in the Bible or being devout or living by God. so while i wanna teach him about this stuff, i also fear it'll cause my brother to be on thin ice with my mother as well, or also make myself even more on thin ice with her. it really took a long time to even convince her to let me start going to church with my grandfather again, i don't want her to like think she has to say no again and make me stop being like devout or something. i don't know. i also feel like it isn't my place to teach him anything, like who am i? i'm no expert, and i'm also still learning. so should i teach my brother more about this stuff or do i just let him be? advice would be appreciated. God bless you all.
