Can a man who is in the process of becoming (or is) Muslim, marry a Catholic woman in a Catholic church? The man has been born and raised catholic. Could they be married in JUST a Catholic church? (Aside from the city hall )
The children will be raised Catholic like their mother.
Would it still be valid since her future husband isnt catholic anymore (but has had a baptism,and has done his communion and confirmation as a catholic) ??
I'd love some helpful answers! ( If you have nothing nice to say them please dont waste your time answering)
- Thanks!

Not sure about this one so you will ned to confirm.
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.

Technically you can since he went through all the rites of sacrament. When you are asked about both your faiths though, he would have to lie and not even mention that he is converting to Muslim.
If religion is important to both of you, this could be a conflict of interest and might not be worth the trouble of getting married in a Catholic church.

MOST Roman Catholic churches will allow you to marry there provided one of you is an active member of the parish and you intend to raise your children as Catholics. You will probably need to have a meeting with the priest and he will ask you basic questions to confirm that you respect the Catholic faith (even though you are not Catholic).
The ceremony will be legal - no need to go to city hall and do it again.

What does the Karan say about a Muslim marrying a Catholic? I think the Muslim man is going against his own Muslim faith..

Islam religion forbids the believer to participate in any other religion other than Muslim belief. Too many self-proclaimed Muslimist do not fully conduct themselves according to the exact practice, and are therefore not Muslims.

If religion is really important to both parties then that is asking for a lot of trouble.
In a marriage and especially in times of great crisis the one resource that really needs to be agreed upon is religion or else you are asking for a lot of heartache during the worst of times.

That's pretty tricky. I think you should call the church you have your eye on and ask the priest and/or head of ceremonies.

I don't think the Catholic church allows that. You should talk to your priest.

Yes you can. It may be tough finding a church to do this, but it CAN be done!
