I was just wondering if we could get some discussion here going on the subject of Jon's parents. I'm not widely familiar with the debate, so if it has been resolved or come to a near conclusive decision just smack me and tell me I am dumb. I personally suppose that the Rhaegar and Lyanna theory makes the most sense, and of course, would be the most dramatic so maybe I'm just hoping it will be that. The only problem is that I feel like that even with Ned's honor obsession, he would at the very least tell Cat, I mean, her honor obsession is definitely comprable and it would save young Jon from a lot of misery in his early years.
The evidence is just too strong - if it turns out to be otherwise, a lot of people are going to be pissed off. As to why Ned didn't tell Cat... hard to say. Perhaps he figures that's the safest way to make sure nobody finds out, including Jon - after all, if it got out while Jon was a kid, that would've made him a target.

Trusting Catelyn would have been idiotic, promises aside.

And WHAT rigid morality? Why don't you give me a clear cut example of his moral "rigidity"?

That is NOT moral rigidity! It was weakness and a huge moral failure!
