Nope. Catholics get married in other churches all the time. All a Catholic needs is a special blessing or permission from his or her pastor to marry in another church. Even if the Catholic did not receive the permission, and thus commits a pretty serious sin, the sin can be forgiven. Either way, the marriage is still raised to the supernatural level if both spouses are baptized Christians. Sin doesn't stop God's will from being done, ever. In fact, God tends to work with it as best He can.
No, not really
Before a Catholic marries a non-Catholic, the Catholic must (for the marriage to be considered proper by the Catholic Church) agree to raise any children as Catholics.
No, they do not have to convert. However, they do have to agree to raise any children as Catholics.
Roman Catholic AnswerNorthern Irish Catholics are not encouraged to have any specific number of children by the Church. It is not the "Church of Rome", is the Catholic Church, whose headquarters are in Rome.
Not at all. If you are a Catholic and have begun a relationship with a non-Catholic that is perfectly acceptable. The only difficulty might be if you marry ad have children. Roman Catholics are rather exclusive, meaning that any children from a marriage of a non-Catholic to a Catholic should be brought up as Catholics. However, to most Christians this is unacceptable, and as long as the children are brought up understanding Christian principles, this is the important thing rather than to what Christian denomination they belong. However just seeing someone who is not a Catholic is certainly not 'sinful' in the eyes of God, despite what some, more fundamental, Catholics might say.
.Catholic AnswerFrom a Catholic point of view, Catholics are not permitted to marry outside the faith without special permission from their Bishop. The reason for this is that the non-Catholic would be a danger to their faith, and there is a possibility that the children might not be raised Catholic.
I should imagine that they wanted her both because she was Catholic and because she was in line for the throne. But remember that Henry VIII's divorce was never approved of by the Church, so Henry's other two children: Elizabeth and Edward were both technically illegitimate, which was probably the reason that Elizabeth I never gave the Catholics any quarter, as they could not rightfully think of her as a legitimate queen.
The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics. The interfaith couple will have to + Get permission from the bishop + Take a pre-marriage course + Promise to baptize and educate their children in the Catholic Church.
That depends on your beliefs in the Catholic faith. It is best to be equally yolked and to practice the same religion for the sake of your future children.
Yes, however the Quaker would have to agree to raise the children as Catholics.
You would not have to convert but you would have to agree that any children be raised as Catholics.
Pope John Paul II had no illegitimate children.
