I am church of england and my fiance is catholic.....?

Question

Tradition has it that when you get married go with the brides parish, which would mean C of E, do you think this is right or should I get married catholic for my husband? Please don't say it is up to us and how we feel, I would like your opinions of this matter thank you

This is not causing arguements as we will do what WE want at the end of the day, I just want your opinions thanks

Answer 1

the biggest problem is that if a catholic is married by anyone other than a catholic priest the church does not recognise the marriage, i don't know about C of E. but what you can do is have it in a catholic church and have an ecumenical service, which means that you have a priest/ minister from both denominations and they both wed you, covering all the bases. hope this helps!

Answer 2

I think one of the major considerations here is are either of you religous? Tradition states many things, but we often ignore the traditions that do not suit us. In the past you would have to be converted to catholicism to be married in a catholic church but I don't know if this is still the case. Personally, I am CofE and fiance is Jewish, we are going abroad and will simply do it in the prettiest church that will allow a mixed marriage. If the church demands we change faith then we go to another church. I hope this matter doesn't cause you too much concern and you have a happy and blessed wedding

Answer 3

Well i would go with C of E because as you say it's the bride's faith. You could always get married in the C of E and then have a blessing in the Catholic Church.
Have a lovely wedding whatever x
Just as a point, you should check that the Catholic church in your area would even consider this if you aren't catholic because they' might ask you to convert.

Answer 4

I belong to the part of the C of E that believes that the only reason that the RCs didn't recognise our orders 80 years ago was the influence of the Irish nationalists. You should not be bothered by being married in an RC church. And in any case, Catholic doctrine is that you are NOT married by a priest. He only blesses the union which is by mutual agreement, permanent intent and consumation so Roman clergy are on dodgy ground trying to specify where they bless your marriage.
BUT I AM ANSWERING THIS QUESTION FOR A DIFFERENT REASON!!!
I have been thinging about what you said in your question about exercise and I wanted to send you an email but I can't.
I do not think it is just a matter of exercise. I am not a doctor but I have lived a lot of life.I really think you should go back to your GP/Consultant as soon as possible. What you are saying suggests that you are not getting better and I really urge you to be physically examined by a doctor.
Best wishes.

Answer 5

I think you need to ask yourselves some questions. Do you plan on having children? If so, in which faith do you intend to raise them? Will one of you take on the other's religeon, or will you attend separate services? Is one of you more devout than the other, or does one of you take your church more seriously than the other? Is either family more devout, or more likely to take offense if you decide to marry in the other church? Might a civil ceremony be an acceptable compromise?

I know you don't want to hear that it's up to the two of you, but, ultimately, it is. You should discuss the above points and any that come up tangentially, and come to a mutual decision you can both live with. Consider it training for all the discussion and compromise you'll need to do as a married couple. Good luck and congratulations!

Answer 6

Catholics can marry non-Catholics in a Catholic Church. I did. The Catholic Priest received't attend and connect worship on the church of england nonetheless, and in the adventure that they get married interior the Church of england the marriage is only no longer recognized interior the Catholic Church. Your pal quite needs to confer with the Priest, he will tell her and we do no longer might want to guess. There might want to correctly be different topics in contact right here that we do not study about. Peace be with you.

Answer 7

You don't mention if your future husband is particularly religious.In any event the man loves you so the choice of church isn't really important in the long run.If he doesn't care about a C of E or Catholic service then it doesn't really matter.Also,it's not unheard of for a Catholic priest to be on hand at a C of E wedding!Whichever route you choose,I wish you both every happiness for the future.

Answer 8

I have heard of a couple who got married in a Baptist Chapel and had a Catholic priest present- this shows consideration on both sides. I think it depends on you both- does your fiance insist on a Catholic service? Cof E are not as strict but you do promise to bring up children in the Christian faith (no denomination specified). You both believe in the same God, which is the major factor here.

Answer 9

The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. You do not have to convert.

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 10

I am Catholic and my fiance is nonreligious with a Catholic mother and a Jewish father. We are doing a ceremony in a Catholic church because I want to and he does not mind. I think both people's religious preferences need to be respected and if that means two separate ceremonies, then so be it.
