I work for a Catholic organization, I'm not a Catholic myself but I never put down their beliefs, even though I disagree with alot of them.
I invited alot of my co-workers and my bosses to my wedding in September and not one of them can come because I am not getting married in the Catholic church or by a priest, but by a magistrate. And the only reason that we have to have a magistrate marry us is the pastor of my church wouldn't marry us because he says that we are "unequally yoked" meaning that my fiancé was not baptized in my church. That's what he said, but the real reason is that I dated his son 3 years ago and his son never dated anyone after that. Anyways under the circumstances we can't get married in a church. Should these "catholics" be more understanding? How can they think that our marriage won't be legitimate? It's supposed to be between me and Jon and God, not me and Jon and the priest, right? The whole thing has made me dislike organized religion all the more.
