Can Catholics and Protestants marry each other???
-
No, because doctrine different, believes and faith not on equal grounds (unequally yolked)
Yes, cause we still belong to the body of Christ.
Then the couple would try to covert the hell outa each other.
So what are your views? Can Love "conquer" all?
I am not here to start a war, just wana get some constructive views. -
Brey raises another high alert flag...

What about Catholics and Orthodox or Protestants and Orthodox? What rules apply?
-
Can. why not? Since when did any religions forbid you from marrying another person who do not share the same religion as you? You marry because you love the person, not because you love the person's religion.
-
Personally, do think there is any written rules for or against these type of union, but would sugest the couple to go for pre-marital counselling (preferably one conducted by the church) before making the commitment. Afterall, marriage is a lifelong commitment/covenant, and thus, its best to have these differences ironed out first (the earlier the better).

Can, but belong to which church? The church of England or the Vatican? See the problem here? Will the family be split or will one have to compromise?Originally posted by babyys:No, because doctrine different, believes and faith not on equal grounds (unequally yolked)

The issue on "unequally yolked" sometimes is overly and wrongly quoted. Strictly speaking, just from that verse, a Christian should not even enter into a business partnership with a non-Christian. Difference in doctrine? it depends on how much "doctrine" exchange of ideas within the marriage. If the couple can agree to disagree, why not? I have two sets of close friends who are in this arrangement. No problem. One set of these friends actually worship in my church, Catholic wife in a Protestant church, no secret, no issue.
Such an arrangement only matters if: one partner sees the other's faith as heresy. In the first place, the marriage may not have occured. people around this couple encourages the couple concern to "convert" each other to the "right" doctrine.
Such an arrangement would not matter if: the couple concern are happy with the status. the couple concern does not see any major differences between RCs and Protestants. the couple concern doesn't what anyone else feels, a marriage is between them and God, and if God is not happy with them, God will deal with them in His own time. -
I can't imagine the following:
Ironside finally finds his true love, realizes she is staunch Catholic, and he converts *back* to Catholicism.
Honeybunny marries a staunch Protestant and converts *back* to Protestant.
Paiseh .. I dunno the killer boss married or not. -

I really get attracted to ladies really attracted to Christ.
I find women very attractive who have placed their faith alone in Christ for salvation.
that's all i can say about that. -
Can Catholics and Protestants marry each other?
Actually, my friend..............we have now called the ecumenical movement.
Under its umbrella are liberal Protestants, neo-orthodox protestants, muslims, hindus, Roman Catholics and other religions.
They believe that they really have no differences essentially after all. And so they allow intermarriage with each other. -
unker CE, you seem to have a new "fetish" for using the arrows huh?
