Hi all,
I met this really great guy. But I don't know if it will work because he's Protestant and I am Catholic. My sister told me that he won't want anything to do with me because of my religion. But I think it's wrong because anybody can be together as long as they learn to comprimise, right?
What do you think?
I appreciate all answers.
Thank you.

Personally I do not think it is about religion (man made) I think it is about a personal relationship with God. I think spending time with others who are believers is important, however. Many people of different religions have had successful marriages--I think your sister may be talking about someone who is very adamant about their faith wanting someone of the same faith. Maybe you should talk with him about that! Then you can get a better idea of his expectations.

There's no way anyone could guarantee you that it will or will not work. However, there's a really good chance that it will be difficult and take a lot of hard work to make it. I know someone who was in the same boat except she was the Protestant. It lasted for a few years, but there were too many obstacles and I think they just grew tired of fighting it. The old saying that "love conquers all" is true to a certain extent, but both of you better be willing to give. It can't be a one sided deal. I think that was a lot of the problem with my friend. She even went so far as to convert to Catholicism, but I don't think he was willing to put forth as much effort. Good luck, hopefully things will work out the way you want them to.

As long as you can accept he views the Pope as a possible candidate of The Anti-Christ position, then yeah.
Protestants commonly disdain the Pope's titles and procedure. Protestants kinda cringe when they hear Holy Father directed toward a sinner. Tha kneeling and kissing rings and such is kind of frightening.
Good luck though.

It is good to learn to compromise. However, the Lord wants us to be married to like-minded believers. Marriage is extremely difficult under the best of circumstances...throw in difference of religion and it is even more difficult. Best of luck!

Yes, compromise is everything.
My mother finds it necessary to exclude me she doesn't believe that Christians and non-Christians should date or socialize. It's cruel.
I think you are on the right track. Anybody can compromise. My father's not religious, my stepmother's Catholic, and they are great together.

It would be better if you had the same faith. But at least you are both Christian. I have seen Protestants and Catholics get married, but one usually switches faith. You need good communication for sure.

IT might be a good idea to talk to your friend about the relgious differences and see what he thinks. And you are right, compromize is a good start just dont tell the Catholic Church that.

Of course it's possible. Most people don't care about denomination.
