thanks for the replies so far. esp. for the link to the catechism site. I do know that interfaith marriages are allowed. at least theoretically but the problem is when I inquired, I was told at the church that my diocese (cuabo) doesn't allow it. It occured to me that that my problem could be a stupid or lazy clerk giving the wrong info.
but if anyone knows of a particular diocese in metro manila that they are really sure of that allows interfaith marriage, please post it. thanks.

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

As a general rule, the Catholic church doesn't condone interfaith marriages. In order for it to be recognized, both parties must be Catholic. The non-Catholic will have to go through classes and they will both have to agree to pre-marital counseling.
Good luck!

When I had my premarital seminar a few years ago the priest told me that Catholic's allow interfaith marriage and it's actually the Christians who don't. Please verify with your parish priest to be sure.
