If a Catholic and a non Catholic marry but then converts later after the wedding is that allowed?

Under law, the couple remain married regardless of what faith either of them adopts after marriage. The Church in which they may have chosen to be married has no say in that. However, if the Catholic partner becomes a non-Catholic, then the Catholic Church will disapprove, and vice-versa. Nevertheless, either partner is at liberty to adopt the other partner's faith at any time after the marriage.

Must Catholics marry in a church?

The "straight answer" is simply "yes," but let's understand also the "why." In the Sacrament of Marriage, a baptized Christian man exchanges vows with a baptized Christian woman. Before Almighty God, they promise to each other a love that is faithful, permanent, exclusive, self-sacrificing and life-giving. Through marriage, a couple now enters into a new public state of life both in the eyes of the Church and society; therefore, the celebration of the marriage rightfully ought to be public with the vows exchanged before a priest (or other authorized witness of the Church), the witnesses (usually the Best Man and Maid of Honor), and the faithful gathered for the ceremony. (Cf. Catechism, No. 1663.) Given this basis, a Catholic (either baptized as a Catholic or later entering the Catholic Church after having already been baptized in another Christian denomination) is bound to be married in the Catholic Church. The Church in which one has been baptized and confirmed, receives Holy Communion and professes faith, ought to be the Church in which one is married. Consequently, whether a Catholic is marrying a Catholic or a baptized non-Catholic Christian, the normal expectation is for the marriage to take place in the Catholic Church and for the children to be raised in the Catholic faith. However, when a Catholic is marrying a baptized non-Catholic Christian, legitimate circumstances may arise when the couple would like to be married in the Church of the non-Catholic. Such circumstances include recognizing a special or long-standing relationship with a minister, or preventing family alienation. In such a case, the couple would complete the regular Catholic marriage preparation. The Catholic party would also attest to his intention of not leaving the Catholic Church and of promising to baptize and raise the children in the Catholic faith. The non-Catholic party would be informed of these promises, attest to understanding these promises and in turn promise not to interfere in their fulfillment. After the preparation and the attainment of these promises, the priest would petition the bishop on behalf of the couple for a "Dispensation from Canonical Form," meaning permission for the couple to be married outside of the Catholic Church. The Church requires a dispensation because the bishop, as shepherd of the diocese and guardian of the souls, must insure that the couple is prepared as best as possible for marriage and is ready to enter into Holy Matrimony. With such permission, the wedding is valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. (Cf. Code of Canon Law, No. 1124-25). However, if a Catholic enters marriage outside of the Catholic Church without the necessary dispensation, then the marriage is considered invalid and is not recognized by the Church. Moreover, this action places the person in a state of mortal sin. For instance, if a Catholic marrying either another Catholic or anyone else just decides to be married in some other Church or by a Justice of the Peace, that marriage is invalid. While such a marriage may have legal standing in the eyes of the state, it has no legitimate standing in the eyes of the Church.

Will a Catholic person have problems later in life by marrying a Pentecostal person?

Most likely, yes they will have problems in their marriage regarding their Faith. The two belief systems are polar opposites and like in a war this will affect their lives in spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. From a Catholic point of view, there is also a possibility that the children might not be raised Catholic.


Would the Catholic Church allow a Catholic woman to marry a Muslim man?

A mixed marriage is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-Catholic. Disparity of Cult is a marriage between a Catholic and a non-baptized person. The later case is a diriment impediment to marriage, which may only be overcome with special permission from the Bishop. However, it is *never* recommended due to the problems involved in the marriage, the danger to the Catholic's faith, and the determent to the children from that marriage.

Can Catholics elope for financial reasons and then be married in the church later?

This depends on what you mean by elope. If a Catholic was to elope and be married by a civil authority this would be a mortal sin and the marriage would not be recognized by the Church, since a priest must be witness to a Catholic marriage (save for extreme circumstances). Later, however, a couple could repent of this and after consultation with a priest, they may be allowed a Catholic marriage which would, of course, be recognized. If, however, as seen in Romeo and Juliet, a Catholic couple elopes because of severe familial circumstances - which would have to be dire indeed - and is married by a Catholic priest, this marriage is valid and binding and no sin is committed. Eloping for "financial reasons" is very vague. It is best to consult a priest. If you are unable to talk to a priest because you do not plan to be married in the Church in the first place: don't do it at all! You can always be married in the Church later, but you don't know if later will ever come, and a Catholic who has despised the Church by resorting to a civil union is living in scandal and his union is considered fornication.
