if someone is pentecostal and one person is catholic, in order to marry in a catholic church...?

Question

do both people have to be catholic? because pentecostal and catholics are apparently similar

Answer 1

No, both do not have to be Catholic.

The main thing is that there can not be a mass with the Holy Eucharist (because of the non-Catholic person not being able to accept the communion in the Church)

There is a process called Pre-Cana, that is the cornerstone of Catholic wedding preparation and gives couples the opportunity to look at their relationship seriously and focus on areas that may need improvement, as well as build on the stronger aspects of the relationship. There are usually three forms of marriage preparation that parishes offer: The Day for the Engaged, Engaged Encounter, and Evenings for the Engaged. Most priests require that marriage preparation be completed anywhere from 8-6 months before the wedding.

Answer 2

No. Both do not have to be Catholic to celebrate in the Catholic church. Only one has to be.

When there are 2 different faiths it is preferred that the wedding be in the Catholic church. But it doesn't have to be to be recognized by the Catholic church.

My brother was married in a different Faith's church and all he had to do was get a dispensation paper. He took this to his home priest to have signed. (in all honesty that is where he had to go and get it.) When this was done he went to her church, Anglican, and received her head of church's signature. Doing so allows both churches to recognize the wedding. I am not sure about the reverse policy though. If this applies to having a non-catholic in a Catholic church wedding recognized by their faith. You will have to check with your head of Church.

On a side note, if you've known your priet from childhood and are very close to him he could reside in a subordanate roll in anothers church so that the 'Host" may be given to those who require it. Primarily Catholics at the wedding. This being done the non-Catholic's head of church is the primary head of the ceremony.

There is also one other thing that hasn't been mentioned yet. My wedding was almost cancelled! We didn't realize that the witnesses (Matron of Honor and Best Man), well one has to be a practicing Catholic.

It does not matter what religion the other person is from to get married to a Catholic in a Catholic church. Buddist, Islamic, Jewish, Wiccan etc or any other Christian faith.

And for a last note usually you just need a Marriage preperation class held by the Catholic church for a Catholic Wedding. If its not in the Catholic then a standard community Marriage prep course will do. In this instance the Priest may or may not require the Catholic to take one to one or even afew gatherings with the couple and priest.

I did find one church that explains this abit to help with your investigation.

Answer 3

The Catholic church no longer requires both parties be Catholic, although an individual church may require a marriage preparation class before allowing a couple to have a wedding in that church,

Answer 4

I think the priest would marry them both in the church without both of them being Catholic. At least in my parish, the priests wouldn't have a problem with it and they won't ask the pentecostal for conversion. You know, Pentecostals and Catholics are pretty different.

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

No. You have to take a test ordained by the Catholic Church to see if you really know one another. My brother married a catholic girl that's what he had to do

Answer 7

<> The Catholic Church would not administer any Holy Sacraments to non-Catholics. interior the case of a marriage, wherein 2 human beings receive the Sacrament, a minimum of one would desire to be an energetic working in direction of Catholic. Why? The act of receiving a Sacrament interior the Catholic Church is a occupation of religion in all that the Church believes and practices. on the grounds that non-Catholics don't think each and every thing the Church believes and practices, what's the factor? <> If basically you have been nevertheless an energetic working in direction of Catholic, there would not have been a concern. See what occurs once you bypass away the Church? <> you will desire to dedicate to an eternal return to the Church in case you want to be married interior the Catholic Church. on the grounds which you're actually a member of the Church of Christ, you're authentic beef should not be with the Catholic Church yet with the Church of Christ. <> you're making an assumption and you ought to not try this. For the sake of argument, enable's assume you're ideal - a lapsed Catholic continues to be a step closer to the Church than a non-Catholic. it somewhat is the version. If a clergyman marries a Catholic couple that is going lapsed, the ethical culpability is on the a pair, not the priest. If a clergyman marries a non-Catholic couple, the ethical culpability is on the priest - for abusing/misusing a Holy Sacrament, not on the non-Catholic couple. <> the difficulty is you're actually not likely to Church each and every Sunday in a Catholic Church. it somewhat is the difficulty.

Answer 8

Both people do not have to be Catholic,they would not beable to have the full mass either.I witnessed this as my brother married a Roman Catholic and he is a Protestant.
