If a Catholic marries, he is required to do this in the presence of a priest, to have his marriage recognized and blessed by the Church. The sacrament of matrimony is one of the seven sacraments, the grace of this particular sacrament is solely oriented towards the spouse. Catholics are not required to be married, but if they do marry, then they must participate in the sacrament.
Yes they can. However their marriage will not be recognized by the Catholic Church. They will incur auto-excommunication and will not be eligible to receive the sacraments in a Catholic Church until they regularize their marriage and confess their sins.
Yes
Pentecostals do marry Catholics.
Of course Catholics marry, how do you think we filled all those Catholic schools for all those years, and replaced all of our sisters and priests when they retired?
No, they do not have to convert. However, they do have to agree to raise any children as Catholics.
So they can marry hard core Catholics or Protestants.
only non-catholics can marry. ANSWER 2: The only priests who may not marry are Roman Catholic. The clergy of other sects of Catholicism (ie., Russian & Greek Orthodox) are permitted to marry.
true
Such a marriage would not be valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church. Catholics may marry non-Catholics in the Catholic Church, but they are not permitted to go through a non-Catholic wedding ceremony.
Catholics were formally allowed to marry non-Catholics following the Second Vatican Council, which took place from 1962 to 1965. The Church's 1983 Code of Canon Law also clarified that such marriages could occur, provided that certain conditions were met, such as obtaining permission from the bishop. However, the practice of interfaith marriages existed prior to this, with varying degrees of acceptance within the Church.
.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.
Yes, however the Quaker would have to agree to raise the children as Catholics.
