Okay, you asked for it. Catholics are obligated to marry in the Catholic Church (not necessarily in a Catholic church building, but rather in a way that the marriage is recognized by the Catholic Church). Part of this includes promising the bring up any and all children Catholic.





If the non-Catholic party is opposed to having Catholic children, end the relationship and marry within your respective faiths.What advice would you give for a Catholic/Protestant relationship. Marriage, Kids, Schools etc...?
2 Corinthians 6:14 - ';Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?';
I would advise you both to accept


JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and Savior.


If you haven't already.


Then you'll have the best foundation for your marriage.
You should not mix bronze age middle eastern goat herders fairy tales and their various ';cafeteria'; interpretations influence something as serious as your relation and life together plans dear.....


Remember, in every modern civilized countries, thanks to public school systems and education, religious superstitions and delusions are quietly fading away.


Continue in that direction, promote education for all. If it's too late for your parents, there is still hope for you and your children to come.
Adam R is obviously a child with no life experience. Don't let religion get in the way of your relationship, Letting a superstition separate what might be your life partner wou;d be a huge mistake.
Both protestants and catholics follow the bible. So stay away from your respective churches as it tells you to do in the bible (see below). Make your home a place of worship and read the bible and pray in your home as it tells you to do. Follow the commandments, love one another and continuously ask God for guidance.

6:5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt NOT be as the hypocrites [ARE]: for they love to pray standing in the churches and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.


6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and WHEN THOU HAST SHUT THY DOOR, pray to thy Father in private ; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. Ling James version.
first of all respect each others beliefs. don't try and change each other or push your beliefs on each other. agree not to agree. second......PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


don't push either of your religious beliefs on your children let them figure which path they want to follow on their own give them the tools to respect all religions and the ability to seek out and learn about other belief structures.


your god after all gave free will to all don't your children deserve and doesn't your god demand that they have free will as well.
If both of you are serious and committed to your faiths, it is a BIG issue. Honestly, I don't think there is a way to raise kids in such a situation without facing the issue that you will have to tell them that a parent is WRONG about some key issues of faith.





If you are Ok with that, and one parent is willing to be the wrong one...go ahead...if not. Get this worked out before hand.





I don't think compromise is a real option here...one church one week, the other the next for instance.





Catholicism doesn't allow that. And you can't really be a catholic, if you are willing to slide on that, if you do, then essentially you are a Protestant, because you don't totally submit to the authority of the teachings of the Catholic church...so you may as well go Protestant officially and be done with it.





sorry, but that is the way it stands for serious Catholics.
