My boyfriend broke up with me because he said he couldn't be with a non-christian girl. His church and family wouldn't allow it. He knew I was catholic from the beginning and I knew he was christian. He said he though it would work out, but that the church and family just wouldn't leave him alone. Is that a good excuse? I still want to be with him. What can I tell him to make him understand and want to be with me?

nicely, portion of the problem is this: To have your marriage regarded as a Sacrametal marriage, you want to be married through a Catholic officiate. To be married through a Catholic officiate you and your significant different would might want to promise to be open to existence and raise your little ones in Christ's Church (i.e. the Catholic Church). in case your boyfriend refuses those products you're searching at 3 alternatives: a million. split because your faith and salvation is more desirable major 2. Marry outdoors of the Church and recognize that you won't be able to receive the Eucharist and live in a state of mortal sin until eventually your marriage is blessed. 3. leave the Church and placed your eternal salvation in chance because you'd be leaving Christ's appointed Church. there's no "satisfied median", not if you're severe about your faith and your love of God. All i can say is placed your faith in God and ask Him to steer you. it would want to propose that your boyfriend isn't the guy for you. Take it from someone who married a non-denominational Christian who DID comply with raising the little ones Catholic and being open to existence--I desire I had married someone who became Catholic. to attraction to close that my husband and that i at the instantaneous are not united in faith is complicated and it really is a burden, one which couldn't really triumph over.

No church in the world could avoid you to be with the one you love. What a sorry excuse that was for him to say, he didnt feel nothing when he came up with that kind of an excuse. If he knew that you had a different believe in religion then he would not even started something that at the end he knew it would not work. U might think maybe he played you, maybe he did but then again maybe he didnt. But bottom line he didnt listen to his heart and took the advice of families and pastor instead of saying that his feelings were important to him.

Well not really because catholics are christians and its not really that bad. I think that it is a very bad excuse and theres a lot of couples out there that are not from the same type of church as others and it has worked out just fine.

No, you do NOT want to be with him. He is obviously a religious fanatic and you will never be happy molded by whatever he will turn you into in the future.
My husband and I are of different faiths and I raise my kids Catholic because religion matters more to me than him, and because he wasn't really raised to practice much of anything anyhow, although he is probably more of a good person than I am even without religion having been a part of his upbringing!
You'll meet a much better person in future. This loser is not for you. Let him go.
If you make yourself his patsy then hey, God help you is all I can say.

Anyone who says that Cathoilcs are Christians have not done their research. The Cathoilic church believes that you can pray "TO" mary (the mother of Jesus) and she will answer your prayers...NO!. Jesus Christ was born to provide Salvation to all humanity - for those who trust in HIm and ONLY him. No Saints or Mary..NO other human. READ THE BIBLE. (NKJV, or KJV). I was a Catholic all my life, up untill two years ago when I meet my wife. She was a Baptist and brought me to read the Bible. He family showed me a whole other side of True Christian faith. I was mad, upset, even sadden by what I was reading (the Bible). In fact, I was reading my Catholic Bible. Can you believe it - I converted to being a Christian by reading my Catholic Bible. At one point I began to cry asking myself, "Why would the priests and the Pope lie to me". Honestly girl, read your bible. Check it out. If you believe that Jesus Christ is your personal Lord and Savior and ask HIM (and only HIM) to save you from your sins - thats it. It so easy to be saved and people think its so difficult. Get yourself into a Bible preaching Church and go to the Bible studies and Church services. Perhaps thsi guy whom you want to be with, is not the one for you, but God gave you something. He let that boy be a "eye opener" for you - and for your Salvation.

Pastor Billy says: being Catholic is being Christian. Being a practising Catholic is being the best Christian you can be. Girl being Catholic is also your identity don't deny how God has made you in his grace, find another fish in the sea this one is gutless.
Remember this all Protestantism started because of anti-Catholicism your boyfriend and his family need much grace to enter into their lives to see things differently pray for it but don
t hold your breath.

Since his church and family don't have the intelligence to accept Catholics as Christians. There is nothing you will ever say to change his church's and family's ignorance.
You say you still want to be with him and you want him to be with you. Since he doesn't want to be with you--Why are you wasting your time and the participants of Yahoo Answers---Your FORMER boyfriend is history----move on girl.
As they say, " There's more fish in the ocean than you will ever be able to count, and there will be another bus when you miss the one you "wanted".

There are 3 main subgroups of Christianity - Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox.
So being Catholic actually means you are Christian in a broad sense.
The Pope is Catholic - remind that to your BF and his family!

Catholics believe in Jesus Christ, therefore you are Christian too (Contrary to some so call Christians). So you must be of different Christian religions, he is hiding behind his relgion. Yes being of 2 different religions can be difficult for some. Unfortunately there are religions that don't recognize any other religions and apparently he belongs to one of those. You are better off with out him.

It is sad that he and his family consider a Catholic to be non-christian. The only real difference is that Catholics believe in the infallibility of the Pope.
Let him go; you really don't want a relationship with such bigoted people.
