The cath-lick church has no right to make rules for you and the person you wish to marry. You have rights; the cath-licks can not impede on your rights. Just remember, God wants you to be happy; he never intended cath-licks to cause sadness, but they do,

Yes, of course, and some have done that. However, they must remove themselves from the succession, as a Roman Catholic cannot become the Monarch, and the children of an RC mother are considered RC by the Catholic Church. However, that law is about to be changed. In the change of UK law that allows the first child to inherit the Crown, not the first boy, the laws about not being Roman Catholic are also being changed. This is to equalize the laws across all the 16 Commonwealth Realms, which currently have different laws.

If you want to get married in the Catholic Church, you will have to work with a priest. You'd have to do that anyway, but in your case, it'll be doubly important. Bottom line is that yes, you can be married and yes, it can be in a Catholic Church.
If I remember correctly, your marriage will have a formal notation of "disparity of cult." All that means is that your husband is not of any Christian denomination. Because marriage is a sacrament, there are all these rules and whatnot that need to be noted. You will receive the sacrament when you get married; your husband will not b/c he isn't Catholic.
As for preparation, you will have to go through some classes or a retreat or something, depending on local customs. Your boyfriend will be asked if he is willing to bring up his children Catholic. Pretty much what the Church wants to know is whether or not he is respectful of your religion. And ALL couples get asked the question anyway.
The first thing you will want to do is find a kind, knowledgable priest to work with you on this process. If you talk to a priest and he is terribly negative, talk to another.
If you need references to the Code of Canon law or other resources, just let me know.

You need to go through Catholic marriage preparation. You also must promise to raise the children as Catholics, and your fiance must acknowledge you have made this promise.
Marriage between a Catholic and a non Christian can be full of many pitfalls one cannot anticipate through the hazy eyes of romance. There is a reason such interfaith marriages have a very high failure rate- listen to people who care about you and do not have a "love conquers all" mentality. It doesn't- love only gets you so far. Enduring marriages are not built on love, they are built on faith and commitment.

It really depend on the church and how strict they are.... most of the anwers you are prob getting are american and lets face it everywhere is a little different. I am sure they will marry you... you just might have to promise to raise your kids catholic. Your case is a little different because the doesn't believe in Jesus.... I would just talk to your church.

My sister married a non-Catholic (so did my mom)! I think that in order to have the church wedding you have to agree to raise your kids Catholic. He doesn't need to convert. But all Catholic churches have some kind of pre-wedding meetings with the priest, so be prepared for that! Ours was 5 meetings, one month apart.
Congrats!

The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-baptized persons. You will have to get permission from the bishop. This is because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge you have ahead of you.
Make an appointment with your parish priest and talk to him about your situation.
With love in Christ.

I don't think that a priest will do it. Marriage in churches no longer *and maybe never did* represent love between two people, they represent love between two *insert religion*s. two Catholics, baptists, protestants.
Just get yourself someone legit to hold the service, justice of the piece or whatever. Doesn't need to be religious. All you need is a liscence and, I think, a notary and witness. That's it.
Unless, of course, you boy wants to convert? Then just go and talk to your priest.

I'm pretty sure they'll treat him like a protestant....I'm not sure of their official stance, but you can find an open minded priest who will marry any man and woman.
The church requires you to commit to raising children Catholic.
