You are Catholic and your fiance is not can you get married by a minister or will you lose your status as a Catholic?

Answer 1

it depends on the two of you. Say for example, a catholic man wants to marry a Muslim woman, the catholic man can be converted to a Muslim or the Muslim woman to catholic. You can't be married if you are different to her/him.

ANSWER: I'd consult your parish priest and/or diocese about this. Don't believe that you, as a Catholic, can be married by a non-catholic minister in a non-catholic church. You'd need, at least, one of the officiants to be a catholic priest. Otherwise, I don't believe that your marriage would be a valid "sacramental' marriage. You would not be married in the eyes of the Church.

Same if you are Catholic and were merely married by a justice of the peace. You would be forbidden to receive the Sacraments b/c you'd be, technically, living in a state of fornication a mortal sin.

The reason is that YOU are a Catholic. Proper sacramental marriage is defined by the Catholic Church. if you deliberately refuse to be married according to Church teaching then you HAVE violated a fundamental tenet of your Faith.

The answer, however, MAY be as simple as making certain that a Catholic priest is the celebrant, alongside the protestant minister, at your marriage. IF your intended spouse refused to permit this, then you seriously SHOULD re-think this marriage.

Still, I do believe that both spouses, regardless of where they are married, would be required to promise to raise the children Catholic. That is certainly a potential serious problem. It would be a serious/grave sin for a Catholic NOT to raise his/her children in the Catholic faith.

If your intended spouse refuses to raise the children Catholic, then you got BIGGER PROBLEMS than merely where -- what church -- to marry in. And, you & your intended need to iron them out before you marry.
