yes they can. you just need to tell the priest and he will do all the paper work. you will need to have "marriage lessons" before the wedding and the non-catholic has to promise they wont stop their partner from being a catholic.
if the non-catholic happens to be an athiest then they will have to be baptised a christian before they can marry in the church (ask the priest)
if the non-catholic is a memeber of another religion like Judaism etc then you may have to get special permission from your local bishop etc

Yes.
The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics.
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.

Yes, but the non-Catholic has to convert to Catholicism first. Then, their children must be sent to Catholic schools. My sister married a Catholic and she went through it all. She is now happily divorced.

As long as the person is Christian of course they can. They don't even have to raise the children as Catholics, however the onus is on the Catholic partner to try as far as is possible to raise any children of the marriage as Catholics.

According to the Catholics, you got to "convert". My husband was Catholic but we didn't get married in a Catholic church and I sure didn't "convert" to anything. But then again, he's now changed his beliefs. He's more of an intellectual than Catholic.

My brother did with his first wife - she was a confirmed Catholic and he was raised Baptist. They couldn't get married up by the alter, had to be married right in front of the pews and they had to be married in a later mass - they could not be married during High Mass.

I am Catholic by birth but never followed the religion. Have not had first communion. In order for me to get married in the church I had to go to two sets of classes: one for first communion, and one for marriage.

Different rules for different people-----depends on the priest. But, the Catholic church is loosing so many people now-they will do about anything to keep them in the church.
