So you saw only my church name and didn't see what I wrote about myself right?
I go to church doesn't make me a Christian, it is my innermost conviction that does.
You see church as worshipping God but I don't.
If you ever mention me again, I will get banned for what I will tell you, are you mad?

Be wise people and stop peddling false ideas/ rumors about the catholic church.
The catholic church has canon laws that cover this type of situation. It is very possible for a Catholic to marry an Anglican or whatever church..even a muslim. grin
All you need are;
1. A permission for Mixed Marriage
i.e. permission for a Catholic to marry a baptized non-Catholic.
2. A dispensation from Form
i.e. allowing you to marry with the officiant being someone other than a Catholic priest. This form includes a permission from place which states that the wedding is not in a Catholic Church.

In order to get that first permission (Mixed Marriage) you will make two promises. Your future spouse does not make the same promises but needs to witness your promises; namely:

I will remain a Catholic and continue to practice my faith.
I will do all in my power to baptize and raise the children as Catholic.

The Catholic Church is very unique..
It has laws/rules pertaining every situation.
Remain blessed.


Are these laws and promises necessary?? Because i don't think they are.

Sweet heart if your parents are still alive, I will advise you to have serious discussion with them decide to join Anglican church now before its too late. Let the Anglican priest know your ordeal, am very sure they will welcome them with open arms. This is just in case the on avoidable happens.

But one thing I should let you know is that there is no Catholic or Anglican, no Knight or minister in heaven.

Roman Catholics aren't Christians. Ask your parents to leave idol worshipping and embrace Christ.

You don't need a church denomination to get then buried.

Please do NOT go there. I totally disagree with the action of the lady's Parish as it is quite strange. BUT PLEASE DO NOT INSULT MY CHURCH DENOMINATION.

I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now.

In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question
Let the priest say what he likes. Your parents can attend another Catholic Church and if they eventually leave this world the priest of the new parish will preside over their funeral. After all you can even bury your parents yourself. Another alternative is for your parents to report to the Bishop and I am sure the Bishop will reprimand the priest. Sometimes we have some over zealous priest that do what they like. I remembered when my brother wanted to baptize his baby, the parish he went refused because the name given to the child is not that of a saint. My brother went to another parish and the child was baptized there. When I started my marriage course, the parish I started with was giving too many conditions, I left and as today my marriage has already been fixed and all the long process removed when I met another priest. So don't bother, there are plenty Catholic parishes around.

When I die my family will bury me! After all when one dies (according to d christian faith) its too late for any atonement so whether church bury u or not if ur life when alive was good or bad u still go to heaven or hell s d case may be. undecided

The White man came and told blacks to bow down. They did and never got up. The catholic church is filled with pedophiles and gay men molesting boys. Is God a Catholic? My dear, religion has caused brain rot in all of Nigeria. Leave that place if you ever get a chance.

Every church, irrespective of denomination, is filled with pedophiles, homosexuals, thieves, false prophets, etc. No single church is perfect, not my Catholic church, and DEFINITELY not your own denomination. So stop passing judgement.

Thanks for this reply you have said it as it is. Are we really practicing xtianity or religious dogma; little wonder the body of Christ is in disarray.








analice107:

I was born a Catholic. My Dad was also a Knight, he is late now.

As i was growing, i became very inquisitive, asking questions. My questions actually stems from the kind of dreams i was having. I was having dreams of rapture continuously. In Catholic Church, we were taught Pogatory, not Rapture, this kept me curious.
I needed answers, there was no one to talk to, so i started seeking. Just like the Bible said 'He that seeks shall find', I found answers out of Catholic Church, so i left.
Am a Pentecostal now.

But, some years back, a Catholic man came to marry me, here were his conditions.

1. Return to Catholic Church.

2. Go back to your parish, meet your parish priest. explain yourself and apologize.

3. Your Dad will pay up all the dues which have accrued to you from when you left.

4. Then i will marry you in my Church, he said. (Catholic)

With the knowledge of the Bible i now have, i told him no. I saw him[b] as a religious man, not a Christian. In all he said, i didn't see any iota of Christianity in him

Religion is plunging us back into what Christ saved us from. HATE, SELF, MALICE, SEGREGATION, AND HAUGHTINESS. All these are satanic traits.

You see, in [/b]this life, we came alone and we shall go back alone. Don't let Dogma put in place by men, keep you down.

Love is Christ's only message on earth.

Love is the opposite of Pride. Pride is selective, Love is not.

Ask yourself this my dearest, what Law as far as Christ's teachings are concerned, have you defaulted? and what law did your parents who for all their lives have been good Catholics living according her dogmas done to be shunned?

Wait, does Christ shun anyone? If Christ shuns anyone, which of us will even be alive today?

My dearest, let this hang over your head, If you are a Christian, then find out what Christ says about anything before you do them, and if you are right, pls do it irrespective of what people will say, because ultimately, it is Christ who died for you, you owe, not anyman.


Your parents will die, the Anglican Church can bury your Dad. be concern about his soul when he dies, not his carcass which shall remain in the dust.

Shalom.

You should have given clues as to where this happened, the parish and diocese. I'm still angry!
