Can Protestants marry Catholics?

Question

I mean i know in the eyes of Christians they don't marry non-believers as they stress that they don't yoke with them as such. But how about about Catholics? Why Christians take it seriously that they just can't marry Catholics? How about inter denominations, Protestant marry a Baptist, for eg. is this possible in the eyes of their respective church?

We Catholics too believe and worship God, just that our blessed mother and saints we seek their intercessions just like i ask my brethren to pray for me. There is a tremendous misunderstanding we pray to Mother Mary and Saints as the wordings are misleading.

We don't worship statues, we just stand next to them as per memory of our loved ones, like looking at the photographs of them. The reason we ask them to pray for us because the Church verified through countless and lengthly investigations that they are in heaven, because uncurable disease has been cured due to their intercessions, given by witness after cross examination

Answer 1

marrage is about love... if u love them then why the hell not!!!!

Answer 2

Yes, interdenominational marriages are acceptable. Sometimes the Catholic Church wants the children of such a union to be raised in that faith. Catholicism is a denomination just like Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, etc.

Answer 3

I married a Catholic and Im a Baptist so that makes us Baptholics. I think the Catholic Church has more a problem with our relationship than other churches.

By the way, I have a direct line to Our Lord so I really prefer praying and listening directly to Him.

Answer 4

Of course. But the notion that diseases have been cured by intercession of saints is silly -- it's a heads-I-win, tails-you-lose situation: if there was a cure, the saint did it; if not, the prayers were wrong, the saint decided not to do it, or god had some other plan, or ... -- there is always an excuse.

Answer 5

Hey Christians Can Marry anyone. When Christians Marries A Non Believer He/ she Brings The Other Person To Christ As His/ Her Touch His Holy And brings Sanctification.
"For He Sanctifieth her With His Touch"

Answer 6

That's like asking, can John marry Jane ! Of course they can.
As far as your statement that Catholics don't worship statues is concerned. What is the murder victim nailed to 2 pieces of wood about? Catholics are the most hypocritical of all religions, most of them only go to church at Christmas and Easter but push their holier than thou attitude on everyone around them.

Answer 7

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 8

Look up Vatican II in any search engine and you will find that Catholic leaders have relaxed every tradition pertaining to such things. Protestants were even invited to attend. Joseph Ratzinger was instrumental in many of these liberal changes to church tradition.
So, I believe the Pope himself would say yes.

Answer 9

Yes, you can marry some one from another denomination or belief if you want. However, if a non Catholic marry's a Catholic, they can't marry in the Catholic church.

Answer 10

That is your choice. but the Catholic Church probably won't allow it since the Protestant has to do his First Communion, Confirmation, etc.
and I know Catholics don't worship statues.
but Its still Wrong to bow down to them and pray to them though.

Answer 11

Yes. But they cannot marry in a Catholic church.
