hey im about to get marry but she is cristian and ind im catholic?

Question

so i wonder under what religion should we get marry cuz she wants to get marry in a cristian church and i want to get marry in a catholic church and i wonder if i i can get some help.

Answer 1

Um... you're Catholic but not Christian? I have never heard of that kind of Catholicism, so I can't advise you.

Answer 2

Catholics ARE christians. So are Methodists, Mormons (somewhat), Pentacostal, etc. Which christian religion is she?

If it were up to me, I'd want to get married in a Catholic church just out of the sheer beauty of the building alone, as well as the nice rituals involved in the ceremony.

HOWEVER, if there is any chance at all that you or she might eventually divorce ( I know you're not thinking that'll happen, but it does), then it's harder to get an annulment through the Catholic church than in a regular church, isn't it? You might want to talk to your priest to see what his take on the whole thing would be and what your options would be if the marriage failed.

Good luck.

Answer 3

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.

For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1633-1637: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt3art7.htm#1633

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

If you're Catholic, I believe the person you're marrying has to take some classes and be confirmed or something in order for you to be married in a Catholic Church. At least that's what my sister had to do when she married her first husband.

You should call a Catholic priest and ask him. Your fiancee ought to check with her church to see if her church has any requirements for you before the two of you can get married in her church.

If you're "about" to get married, it might be easier to just do a JP in a VFW hall...because you might not have time to fulfill all the requirements before you get married.

Answer 5

You should consult your priest and her pastor.

A Catholic can receive dispensation to marry a Christian in the Christian spouse's church. Happens all the time. In most cultures, the wedding takes place in the woman's church/home/hometown.

Answer 6

nicely Catholic Is The Rolls-Royce yet once you desire to grow to be Catholics Then decide for It, yet Forces Will attempt to steer away from You Thats A actuality, that's That Your existence's direction Is To Be A Protestant + a reliable Protestant, My existence's direction Is To Server At St augustines Church In My city, not A Catholic properly.

Answer 7

You have decided you want to marry her, and this topic hasn't already come up? No wonder the divorce rates are skyrocketing.

This should be something you think about and discuss long before engagement, in my opinion.

Obviously too late for that. You need to speak with her and make some compromises and decide if religion should really be the deal breaker.

Answer 8

Try going to a magistrate, Justice of the Peace, or the Mayor's Court. Skip the church bit.

(BTW, Catholics ARE Christians. It was, in fact, the first established Christian church)

Answer 9

Hello, Catholic -- you are a Christian too, so you can get married in a Christian church of another denomination (although the Catholic church won't consider that you're married if you do).

Talk to you priest, and talk to your pastor, and arrive at a compromise. Your marriage is what is the most important, not the actual wedding.

Answer 10

Try getting married perhaps outdoors--its a place of worship for every religion. Maybe at the beach, a state park, etc. Its very relaxing and could turn out to be very beautiful!

Answer 11

Do not get married in a Catholic Church.........you would have to bow to Mary and that is Idolatry.
