do u have to marry a catholic broad? is that a rule?

9/22/2007 1:59:58 AM

yes its the law

9/22/2007 2:01:10 AM

Definitely a law.

If you don't marry a girl who's catholic they will feed you to the Jesus serpent, a wicked beast locked in a dungeon underneath the Sistine Chapel.

9/22/2007 2:02:20 AM

hey now.... thats not true. and i would know

9/22/2007 2:02:28 AM

is it considered a sin if you are catholic and dont marry another catholic?

like what if a catholic married a lutheran or something

9/22/2007 2:02:40 AM

as long as they arent protestant

9/22/2007 2:03:04 AM

^^^you've been married!?!?!?

9/22/2007 2:03:35 AM

no! im a catholic

9/22/2007 2:04:01 AM

oh cool...not too many of us around these parts

9/22/2007 2:05:19 AM

as long as they haven't been divorced

BUT (theres a but)

they can "annul" it, which means your kid becomes a bastard child. to the catholic church.

9/22/2007 2:05:38 AM

(no), but it would be a good idea.

back in the day my great grandmother was catholic, and she married my Lutheran great grandfather, she was excommunicated. I doubt they do that today though.

9/22/2007 8:28:35 AM

^ she speaks the truth

I know, cause I was there

9/22/2007 10:08:12 AM

^^ Catholics and Lutherans signed some sort of pact so that would never happen now

9/22/2007 11:48:45 AM

of course it's not a sin

9/22/2007 11:55:52 AM

Before Vatican II (mid-late 60's I think) if a Catholic married a non-catholic they couldn't be married inside the church itself. My grandmother on my mom's side was Southern Baptist and didn't want to convert, so they had to have the wedding elsewhere, though the priest did perform the ceremony.

Nowadays, it's no big deal. As long as they haven't been previously divorced. (My aunt married a man who had been divorced, and had to have a different minister perform the ceremony, because her church wouldn't do it)

^ correct

9/22/2007 1:43:50 PM

11/18/2007 9:00:05 AM

hmm.... i wonder why this thread reappeared..

11/18/2007 9:01:26 AM

Do you want to take me to church sometime?

11/18/2007 9:03:02 AM

i think dnl made this thread just so he could us ethe word "broad"

11/18/2007 9:03:06 AM

nah i made this thread as an excuse to talk to aea

11/18/2007 9:07:47 AM

im a weird person to go to mass with since im still in RCIA. we get dismissed after the liturgy of the word to discuss the readings

11/18/2007 9:15:14 AM

i'd really like to go to a catholic church sometime...thats one of the denominations i've never been to before...my mom always told me growing up that i was a catholic though

11/18/2007 9:19:40 AM

did you receive all the sacraments?

11/18/2007 9:21:03 AM

I'm guessing no...I asked my mom a year or less ago if I had ever been baptized and she said no

11/18/2007 9:21:55 AM

ah- yea i was never either (im fixin to do that on Easter). you should try mass sometime- you couldnt have communion but you can still be blessed. and sacred heart has great celebrants- Monsignor Jerry is my favorite

11/18/2007 9:24:13 AM

I took the sunday before my birthday off...maybe I could go to church with you then...i dont want to go by myself

11/18/2007 9:26:31 AM

11/18/2007 9:27:19 AM

dec 2nd

11/18/2007 9:28:03 AM

ill be doing a dismissal that weekend at the 12:30 mass - so ill only be there for half of it. if you have the last weekend of the month free, i go to the full service on saturday (5pm)

11/18/2007 9:31:49 AM

If you're Catholic and you go to Cardnial Gibbions, you're hanging your head right about now. Your soccer team just got beat by the Red Devils!

11/18/2007 9:41:33 AM

i usually get off work at 5 on sundays...if i asked them i could probably leave at 4:30 or 4...that would work out pretty well cause i'd already be dressed decent

i'll send you a pm after i get off work

my mom was methodist when she married my catholic dad....
granted she converted, but she wasn't catholic when they were married

11/18/2007 12:04:48 PM

I'm catholic and will probably end up marrying a catholic girl. Having dated girls who were both catholic and not catholic, i suspect it would be easier spiritually to marry someone of the same faith. however, as said before interdenomination marriage is allowed, but when it comes to baptism problems may arise...

11/18/2007 3:42:30 PM

i'm american

11/18/2007 5:00:15 PM

a lot of catholics I've met are like:

"I don't believe in god, and the bible is full of shit, but my family's catholic, so **sigh** I'm catholic too"

crazy




*note to atheists, agnostics, pagans, etc.
simply saying "I'm catholic" is the best way to get door-to-door religion pushers to leave you alone

11/18/2007 5:18:38 PM

^ noted.

11/18/2007 5:19:56 PM

^^Ha. I served a proselyting mission and every time someone said "I'm Catholic" we took that to mean "I don't really go to church or have a religion" specifically for the reason you mentioned.

If you want them to leave you alone the best thing to do is tell them I'm not interested. Worked for me and it beats lying. If you still want to get rid of them by lying just tell them you're a JW and act super pleased that they showed up at your door.

11/18/2007 5:49:22 PM

me and a chick from work had a good convo about religion today

let me tell you its refreshing to know there are broads out there that really could care less about religion and dont buy into all that mess

11/18/2007 5:50:39 PM

^^ I'm calling Bill Donohue

11/18/2007 5:55:24 PM

Mom is Hindu, dad is Catholic. So no.

11/18/2007 5:57:59 PM

i think the rosary beads and patron saints are pretty cool.


i especially like St. Vivian, the patron saint of hangovers.

11/18/2007 5:58:38 PM

ohh shit

saint anthony has always had my back... maybe i should talk to that one too.

11/18/2007 5:59:54 PM

i'm not too keen on the patron saint of engineers being irish
