Protestant Christians and non-Catholic Christians?
If you are a Protestant who married a Catholic, like a non-denominational, Baptist, Lutheran or Calivinist?
If you are Catholic, would you marry a Protestant?
Let us assume that the other person has all the rest of the qualities and tastes good: for example, a good heart, spiritual, type, compatibility, etc.
Protestants are more progressive than the Catholics.
As for me, a Christian is a Christian, regardless of how they worship, so yes I would.
I am Catholic and while it may be able to marry a Jew or a Muslim (actually almost not) that she could not marry a Christian who was not Catholic.
Being Catholic is more than a religion or place of worship or fellowship, as Protestantism, which may come closer to being a Jew or Muslim who embraces life.
No Christian should marry a Catholic. Here's why:
The Mass
If the Catechism to be believed, every time the Mass is done the work of Christ on the cross is made present and the work of our redemption is carried out:
"In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who once offered so bloody on the altar of the cross is contained and offered in a bloodless manner. Pg 344, # 1367
"When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's Passover, and is present. As often as the sacrifice of the Cross by which 'Christ our Passover, was sacrificed, is celebrated at the altar, the work of our redemption is carried out. "Pg 343, # 1364
But the Bible reveals that the work of redemption was an act once it was completed when Jesus died on the cross:
"… but now once at the end of the world is he (Jesus) appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. "Hebrews 9:26
"In which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Hebrews 10:10
When Jesus shed his blood, which once purchased eternal redemption Act for all those who put their faith and trust in Christ:
"Neither by the blood of goats and calves but his own blood, (Jesus) entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption." Hebrews 9:12
The Bible specifically states that this sacrifice is not necessary to do daily:
Who does not need daily, like the priests, to offer sacrifices, first for his own sins, and for the people 's: for this he did once, when he offered himself ". Hebrews 7:27
However, the Catechism insists that:
"Every time this mystery is celebrated," the work of our redemption is carried out … "Pg 354, # 1405
But the Word of God is equally adamant that the death of Christ was a one time event:
"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many …" Hebrews 9:28
"But this man, having offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God" Hebrews 10:12
Jesus did all the work necessary for the salvation of man when he died on the cross. No additional work was necessary.
Who gets the credit?
To say that the Catechism for the Catholic Church plays a role in the redemptive work of Christ is to steal credit the Lord Jesus, He alone deserves for the work he did on Calvary.
According to the Word of God, Christ did it all, once and for all. His death was an act of God, the more wonderful sacrifice ever made. It happened once, never repeated again. However insists the Catechism:
"The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice". Pg 344 # 1367
As gently as possible it must be said that this statement is pure sacrilege. Suggest a priest who performed a religious ritual is a part of the death Jesus suffered torture is nothing short of blasphemy.
To associate the rituals of the Catholic Church with the work of Christ on the cross is nonsense. The Catholic church played no role in the work that made possible the redemption and deserves no credit.
Once again, Catholicism tries to force Christ to share His glory with the Catholic Church, while the Bible shows that Jesus alone deserves the glory.
Conclusion
Where will you place your trust? In the Word of God … or tradition and teaching of the Catholic Church?
"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring to God, being sentenced to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:" 1 Peter 3:18 http://www . chick.com/reading/books/160/1 …
I'm Catholic but I'm going to marry for love …
I am Catholic. Not only am I planning to marry a non-Catholic, but a non-Christian. My girlfriend and I have been together for years, and we respect each other's right to practice different beliefs. Of course, if it ever became a Christian from another denomination than mine (for example, if she became an Episcopalian, Pentecostal, or anything else), that is their business, and I love every one of its little more .
I'm Baptist and I would say yes, I'd marry a Catholic girl if everything was in order so to speak. To quote Reverend Lovejoy from The Simpsons "Christ is Christ." I did not convert to Catholicism, because although I like a Baptist service.
I'm not Catholic and I would not marry someone outside the Catholic faith.
Not by a sense of superiority, but simply because I really really really the value of a marriage in the Catholic Church, which is only granted if both parties are Catholic.
++++++++++++
Sorry to burst the bubble "The intellectual" but a sacramental marriage within the Catholic Church is only granted if both parties are confirmed Catholics.
I am Protestant and I would not marry a Catholic. While I believe that Catholics are Christians, Catholic doctrine is very different from the Protestant doctrine and how to interpret the Bible.
You do not understand the Scriptures. No yoke with unbelievers. She can not marry a person who was not born from above as we do. Cath Most are not born again. As for other faiths - are more common. But I want to marry someone who had the same beliefs as I
Indeed I did.
So there;)
Absolutely!
But I would ask her to be married in a Catholic church ….
=)
Edit: I wonder where "liberal Catholic 1st" receives this information, because that's not what I have been taught by priests, and youth minister in my parish, the priests in the city of my, to the case .. .. and both parties must be baptized, not confirmed ….
I am a Protestant who converted to Catholicism soon and marry a Protestant, but rather a Catholic. To the extent that they were a good Christian I believe God is going to be okay with this. James is waaay off base man. The body and blood of Jesus that is multiplied by the Eucharist is not crucify him again, in fact the miracles of manna, wine at the wedding and the loaves and fishes were all foreboding that his body and blood would be broken for all of us and multiplied in this way. Takes a little faith, of course, but if you are Christian, this should come with the territory. Jesus said in John that only those who eat his body and drinking his blood is stored. What does this mean for you?
>> Let us assume that the other person has all the other qualities … for example … compatibility <<
That's the thing - if it were not Catholic, would not be compatible, spiritually. Spending my married life fighting for the use of images, types of sentences, etc., is not my idea of a good time.
I think anyone who does not marry the person they love, who is in love with them just because they're the wrong religion is a fool. I'm Catholic and I will marry for love.
I'm not religious and my husband and I are not unequally yoked.
we must be in agreement on all aspects of our lives.
I dated a Catholic girl when I was in high school and actually dated more than a year ago and talked about marriage a few times. Besides, I was raised Catholic until the age of 5 years so some of my family is still involved in the Catholic church. So yes, if I was dating this girl Catholic law that could end the marriage.
