Question for non Catholics, would you date and or marry a non-Catholic?

Question

I know this woman whom I like and we share many of the same values, except I am not a Catholic. I consider myself to be spiritually independent believing in a higher power, sense of morality, etc. In any case, long story short, because we do not share the same religious belief she is closed to any romantic possibilities.

I'm curious as to what other Catholics think about this and if this would be an obstacle for them if they knew a non Catholic they had feelings for.

What I forgot to mention is that she is what I'd call a super catholic in that she is extremely zealous about her faith. I met her through pro-life work. Yes, non-Christians can be pro-life. Usually strong pro-life Catholics are more into their faith which has caused a strange conflict in that we relate about politics and some spiritual ideas. But some of the spiritual ideas she is attached to we have big differences about.

Answer 1

you worded your question pretty weird, as a catholic i have no problem with inter faith relationships but you must ofcourse be careful as not everyone can pull it of. you will have to respect her decision but maybe in time you both can connect on a better level.

Answer 2

im a catholic and no dont worry it wont be an obstacle u just have to believe on your religion because what matters is love not your religion

Answer 3

tell her theres nothing wrong with it according to the bible and or catechism.

it would not be an obstacle for me.

tell her(but dont really) that if it got serious enough you'll convert.
but dont really tell her or shell be all "woah there, youre moving kinda fast"

Answer 4

This is a real problem and you should just keep it moving you are what the bible calls unequally yoked which means one believer one none sort of like cats and dogs it does not work

Answer 5

Um, yeah why not.
