In the Catholic Church, a mixed marriage is when one partner is Catholic and the other is not. The procedure for a mixed marriage typically involves obtaining permission from the local bishop, completing pre-marriage counseling, and agreeing to raise any children in the Catholic faith. The non-Catholic partner may also be asked to sign a document stating their willingness to respect the Catholic partner's faith.

What is the Catholic Church's teaching on mixed marriages?
It doesn't teach anything, a marriage is a marriage.
Can an interacial marriage that was previously dispensated 21 years ago without a priest present hold a catholic ceremony marriage now?
The question is not entirely clear, but there is no dispensation required for an interracial marriage. Perhaps it is a mixed marriage in regard to religion that was meant? If the dispensation to a mixed marriage has already been secured from the Catholic Church than this means the Church is willing to witness your marriage and you may proceed with the guidance of your parish priest.
Can a Catholic marry a non-Catholic and still receive communion?
Yes, a Catholic can marry a non-Catholic and still receive communion, as long as they are in good standing with the Church and have followed the necessary steps for a mixed-faith marriage to be recognized by the Church.
Can a Catholic widower marry a woman who married in a Methodist church but the marriage was annulled?
It depends, if the Methodist woman's marriage was annulled in a civil court, or if she was divorced and annulled in a protestant church: it would still need to be annulled by the Catholic Church. The Church *always* defends the bond, except in rare open and shut cases. You need to speak to a priest about this. If the woman's marriage is annulled by the Catholic Church, THEN you must receive permission from the Bishop for a mixed marriage, or she could convert.
You are presbyterian and your fiancee is Catholic can you be married in a Catholic church?
You can, provided that the Catholic woman's priest permits the marriage to happen. Since you are Presbyterian, you will be required to agree that any future children are to be brought up with Catholic instruction and that you will not interfere with your spouse's faith. The Church is not enthusiastic about mixed marriages, as is probably evident. Further, since you do not share the Catholic Faith, your marriage in the Church will not be given the sacramental blessing that is only given in a marriage between two Catholics.

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 a Catholic woman marry a non Catholic man who is not baptized in any faith?
Yes, a Catholic woman can marry a non-Catholic. The requirements for the marriage to be valid in the eyes of the Catholic Church are... 1.The Spouse that is currently Catholic must remain Catholic. 2.Any offspring that results from the union must be brought up in a Catholic Church. Catechism of the Catholic Church: 1633-36 It is recommended that the Husband consider joining the Catholic Church, but it is by all means, not required. It will, however, lessen the amount of stress and "bring the confusion of Christian disunity into the home." Remember, the Catholic Church does not forbid mixed marriages, but for the marriage to be considered valid, you must follow the guidelines. God be with you! GW
Can a non Catholic man marry a Catholic women in a Catholic church?
No, not without the Catholic party receiving a dispensation to marry a non-Catholic. The standard concessions from the non-Catholic party would then also have to be confirmed and the marriage to take place in a Catholic church with a Catholic priest as witness.
Can a divorced presbyterian women marry a male Catholic in a Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerA civil divorce means that a legal marriage has been dissolved, in the eyes of the State. However, it usually has no bearing on whether a marriage actually exists in the eyes of the Church. The Presbyterian woman would need to obtain a judgment from the Matrimonial Court in the diocese in which she lives as to whether she is in a valid marriage or not. In other words, she needs to obtain an annulment, a decree that no valid marriage ever existed. Failing this, no, she could not marry again in a Catholic Church, as she is already validly married and this would be attempting bigomy in the eyes of the Church. If she is granted an annulment, then the couple can proceed with instruction and the Catholic would have to make the appropriate promises, and a decree allowing a mixed marriage would have to be obtained from the bishop, or better, the woman could start instruction in the faith. Normally the Church frowns on mixed marriages, although recognizing that they will happen in our society, she fears for the faith of the Catholic party and that of the children.
Can a Catholic woman marry a non Catholic man who has previously been married in a Church of England ceremony?
Yes, a Catholic woman can marry a non-Catholic man who has previously been married in a Church of England ceremony. However, there may be some additional steps and requirements that need to be fulfilled, such as obtaining a declaration of nullity for the previous marriage of the non-Catholic man. It is recommended to consult with a priest or a local Catholic marriage tribunal for guidance in such situations.
Where can a Catholic and a Presbyterian get married?
Answer: A Catholic may marry another Christian e.g. a Presbyterian (a 'mixed marriage') so long as he/she promises to do his/her best to raise any children in the Catholic faith; the non-Catholic is to be aware of this promise and understand what it means. It is sufficient for the priest or deacon acting as Church witness to fill out some brief paper work. The ceremony normally takes place within the church building and it is courtesy to invite the Protestant minister to participate (no permisson is needed). It is also possible for the ceremony to be conducted in the church of the Protestant party; this would normally be granted by the bishop, especially if the Protestant had a strong connection to his/her church e.g. a relative who was pastor. However, a Catholic priest or deacon would normally be required to be present. A Catholic may also marry a person who is not a Christian, with the promise regarding children also being made. However, such a marriage is called a "Disparity of Cult" and permission must be obtained from the local bishop. In such cases, it is permitted for the ceremony to take place somewhere other than in a church building. See related links.
