You are Catholic and your fiance is a divorced christian with kids and He is afraid that if you get married his kids will be considered bastards Is this true?
Perhaps it would be worth pointing out for starters that you are both Christians - as a member of the Catholic faith, you a member of the oldest Christian institution in the world. If your fiance's children were born within a legal marriage, then the civil law will never consider them illegitimate or bastards no matter when, how, whom, or how often their father remarries. Nowadays, it is the civil law that governs questions of property, inheritance, and the legal rights of the individual. Even, if your fiance's children weren't born in a legal marriage, the Catholic Church does not concern itself too much with illegitimacy nowadays. These questions were of much greater concern back in the day when large amounts of land and property, and noble and royal titles were handed on by inheritance. Only legitimate sons and daughters of royal or aristocratic property-owners might enjoy the privileges of their parents' rank. For ordinary folk, this sort of thing has rarely been as much of a concern. Perhaps your pastor could help you sort through the concerns you and your fiance have.
