Regarding Catholic Saints who were members of the laity---I would like to know if there are any who disobeyed their parents in order not to commit sin. (I exclude superiors here, for one could name perhaps all or most of the martyrs.) Regarding Catholic Saints who were religious---were there any who disobeyed either their immediate superiors or parents in order to avoid sin? (I know, for instance, that St. Thomas Aquinas' family was against him joining the Dominican order and hired a prostitute in order to tempt him---but I don't know if either parent was involved.)
