The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics.
Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the couple will face, they may have to get permission from the bishop.
With love in Christ.

Sure, and I 've never heard of the catholic church discouraging it. As someone said, you both have to agree to raise children in the catholic church (does not mean that they have to go to catholic school).
Also, if the person is divorced, even if married under a different faith, you need an anullment first. The catholic church recognizes most other christian religions (scientology would be an exception - Nicole Kidman did not need an anullment from her marriage to Tom in order to marry Keith Urban).

Catholics are permitted to marry a member of other religions provided they go through a 6 month marriage preparation in the Catholic church to know and understand the sanctity of marriage in order to marry in the Catholic Church. I am speaking here of a valid sacramental marriage recognized by the church.

Yes but what usually happens is the non-Catholic has to go through all these classes teaching them about Catholicism, and they are highly encouraged to join the church, and if they don't join, they usually have to at least promise their children will be raised Catholics.

properly.... it is not any longer recommended, yet i have considered it... Unfortunetly for my moms and dads, the first answer is ideal at the same time as putting forward that no longer being married lower than the catholic church is considered a mortal sin. My persons (non secular catholics) have a particular condition which couldn't enable them to marry in the catholic church, to that end they have not had communion considering that i develop into born.

yes they are, but if you want to be absolutely strictly catholic about it, the non-catholic partner is expected to convert and any children from the marriage will have to be brought up catholic. i don't think that is still expected, though. i'm a non-catholic who is going to marry a catholic and no one is expecting such a thing of us...

I don't see why not. Also, they can marry of the same sex, at least in Massachusetts. But if you're asking, does God allow it? Of course he does, he created people gay or straight. Plus, you have Free Will to do whatever you want. Furthermore, Hell doesn't exists anyway you stop worrying about what the dumb Bible says.

Nope. Stick to Accepting Jesus as your savor and stay away from the churches who do not teach the word of God. I was once a catholic, and they do not teach the word of God.
