Answer 1

This has been the stand of the Roman Catholic church almost forever I think. It is their way of guaranteeing that their coffers will remain full and of controlling their people to do so.

In today's world I believe the couple should make up their minds as to what THEY want and not what the "church" wants. They should be willing to stand up and say to the "church" we will raise our children how we feel is best for them; if this requires excommunication with the "church" so be it.

This advice I give is not just for the children raised in the Roman Catholic traditions but any church that requires their membership to perform in certain ways. I was raised in the church (not Roman Catholic) and now will have little to do with any denomination because they all want you to perform to "their" requirements usually taken from one or two Bible verses taken completely out of context to suit "their" requirements. Believing in God and in Jesus as your personal Savior is very important much more so than any church and their dogma. You do not have to "belong" to a church to be a Christian.

If you would like to know more please email me. I enjoy teaching the true Word, not just the words of a church.

Answer 2

What's really important here is what your son's girlfriend thinks. How independent is she from her parents.
Catholics know that when we get married we are going to leave our parent and follow our husband. He is going to be her only priority. She might be the only child but it's time to cut the umbilical cord and let her live her life as she chosen.

Answer 3

Sounds like Mommy and Daddy may be trying to control everything she does...she needs to grow up and make her own decisions

Answer 4

yes,always childs have to sacrifice,so acc. to my opinion child can take their own decisions for their life,but in concern wid their parents.

Answer 5

if they r mama and daddy's child then they do
but if they truly love their love then they won't
