Catholic vs Christian weddings?

Question

Here are the facts first...
I am engaged and about to be wed in a garden in Manila on May 07, we are both Catholics. I had a previous marraige (Church ceremony) and now annulled (civil only). We are having a garden wedding officiated by a Christian Pastor or Reverend.
Question...
1.) some of the prospective godmothers backed out when whey found out that it is a Christian wedding, how do we convince them?
2.) my fiancé is always sad about the idea of not having a traditional church wedding, any advice?

Answer 1

For the record, Catholics are Christians.

If you want to have it in a Catholic Church you're going to have to have your former marriage offiically annulled by the Church. Otherwise that won't be possible and anyone who is upset about it will have to find a way to work through it.

Answer 2

Well, Catholic ceremonies are Christian. You have your terms wrong. And yet, as you know, they are also Catholic. What can you do? Well, go talk to your priest again, and hope for some luck. Most likely, though, you will be without some attendees. So what? If their faith is more important than your happiness, well, you know where their allegiances are. Nothing wrong with that. And if your wife is sad, well, such is life. If a non-Catholic wedding means no marriage, now you know. But at least you know. And you also know what the Catholic church thinks about you.

Answer 3

Catholicism is Christianity. But in genreal, Catholics place getting married in a Catholic church very high on the totum pole.

I would not try and chase after those who dont want to be a part of the wedding. In my opinion its not about how you get married, but rather the commitment that you two make and keep to each other.

If your fiance really wants a church wedding, do it or get as close to one as possible. You can still have it officiated by clergy in a garden, maybe nearby a church.

My fiance has no desire to be married in a church. he doesnt agree with most of the regulations that the churches try and put on people who are not members (i am but he isnt). So we compromised and decided to get married away from the church but by my pastor. He is ok with that- in fact I even let him choose the place. Now even though i would really love to be married in the church, like i said, i dont care where you get married-- it is about the commitment.

Answer 4

Jiggs they are backing out of the wedding because in the catholic faith , a catholic wedding is a sacrament of the church. This goes against everything as a catholic we believe in. Why not get a catholic priest to do a catholic wedding and also invite the pastor to be there:). It would solve both problems fairly quickly.

Answer 5

the genuine distinction is a few small differentiations interior the bible translations and particular classic perception's. i'm seen a crib catholic(born catholic) and performance also attended non-denominational lots with some friends. the numerous distinction i have continuously talked about is the shortcoming of deep classic kinds. Catholics have classic songs and procedures of appearing mass that are "strict" and 1000's of years previous, at the same time as the nondenominational confirm to throw in "Christian Rock" or "Rap" and different issues, that's solid in its own way. The catholics commonly say "Our way or the street" at the same time as nondenominational have a tendency to say "O.ok., in case you imagine so". Now in case you opt for to analyze Catholic to more moderen denominational church homes alongside with Lutherans and Methodists, and etc., then the great differences lay interior the former information and, once lower back, the bible. the basically reason those church homes got here into being is because the catholic church became at one aspect corrupt in the time of a era at the same time as the individuals relied on it. There are also some philosophical differences also, alongside with the lutheran church believes that each and each and every man or woman is born with the right into heaven, yet they ought to lose it to bypass to hell. Then the Catholic church believes that's effective to earn your thanks to heaven through residing an complete totally solid natured existence. there are various different minor information, and a lot of those were basically examples, yet for a short answer that's what i assumed will be solid to provide you. also, if all and sundry unearths this answer offensive, I ask for forgiveness, because I not in any respect meant this to offend. also keep in concepts, i'm 15.

Answer 6

If your fiance isn't happy, then I suggest you try to change the ceremony to have a traditional church wedding. It sounds as if it is really important to your fiance and your family. While a garden ceremony is beautiful, you'll have to worry about weather, bugs, heat, etc.

Answer 7

Traditional? Typical Catholic.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Matthew 15:9

For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men..." Mark 7:8
