Non catholics marrying catholics. Anyone have any stories?

One catholic, one protestant wed. Priest doesn't believe in this kind of marriage but does wedding anyways. 40 years go by and day comes to sign up for social security and medicare but when trying to get state certificate of marriage find out they have no record! Relative had to go to court, hire a lawyer, and get decree from court that they are legally married and have been for over 40 years! Turns out the priest purposely screwed them and never sent in final paperwork to town!

This was extremely stressful with sleepless nights worrying how it would all turn out. There was also the expense. The catholic church gave my relative zero help with the whole matter by the way. So if you marry a catholic out there better make really sure you are really married!

The crux of the matter is that catholics (having been raised & educated as one myself) are Taught=Instructed to be non-accepting of Christians.

You would think that after 300yrs they (the rcc) would drop the grudge against Christianity, but no...

See, it ain't like catholics accept The Gospel and God's Plan for men to Come Unto HIM and Be Born-Again. More plainly, it's the clergy that instructs the apostate dogma and catechism.


Most catholic families I've known and been involved with were dysfunctional and controlling. Lots of alcoholism, but that's an Irish thing; more widely skewed now than in the past but still very predominant.

Sad thing about catholics is they tend to be conditioned to follow "motherchurch" rather than follow their heart with regard to God.



If God means so much to you, why don't you tell HIM?
THE Witness of The Gospel is John 3:7 "Marvel not that I Say unto you: Ye MUST Be Born-Again!" but you're not...

If you Truly Love God and place HIM above all others, By Coming Unto HIM and Telling HIM you're likely to Be Given "A New Heart Of HIS Flesh" and Enabled to KNOW and DO HIS Will. See Ezekiel 36:26-27 for The Concise Witness Of The Born-Again Life.

If you can Trust God with all you are and all you ever will be, and Tell HIM So; HE Will Guide your life and Preserve You From All evil.

God might just enable you to understand how/why your BF and you can make a good marriage; or why you cannot.


Of course, if none of this strikes a chord in your heart, then you're just being obstinate about not intending to ever convert... If your Faith is not something you can be motivated to take action upon, it really doesn't mean much; does it?

If you are a Spiritual person, choosing a mate who don't share your Spiritual motivations seems like a dumb thing to do in a marriage.
