Some not all Catholics can be pentecostal , most are not. Pentecostal Christians recognize the value of the Holy Spirit today in our lives. All Catholics believe in the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, too! Pentecostals focus a lot on 'speaking in tongues' even though it is one of the lesser gifts.

Yes, a Catholic can marry a Pentecostal. Marriages in the Catholic tradition can take place either within a Mass or not. Generally, if a Catholic marries a non-Catholic they do not celebrate sacrament of matrimony during Mass but rather have a service. This service is just as Sacramental for the Catholic spouse as a marriage within a Mass would be for two Catholics getting married. There are some conditions however: For a Catholic to marry a Pentecostal and have their marriage recognized by the Church and thus be sacramental for the Catholic spouse, the couple would have to go through the regular marriage prep as required by their parish and the Pentecostal spouse would have to make certain commitments, such as acknowledging that the Catholic spouse has a commitment to raise the offspring in the Catholic faith.
