She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by myboo: 10:34pm On Jul 08, 2012
Hi guys, I just met ds girl that am tripping for...we have been flowing ever since. Am wanting to settle down anytime soon and am just wondering whether it would work out cos she is strict catholic and am protestant. How can I be able to convince her to change her faith and will it work?

It depends on you two and your maturity

Of cos, it can work. It's not like you'll be the first couple to be in this kind of situation. It takes a certain kind of understanding though. And making it work doesn't always require anybody to switch faiths, but if you must, that person could always be you. I mean, you're in the same love right? So go ahead, make that sacrifice.

DO NOT SWITCH except you are not a "real" CHRIST-LIKE in the first place.

Am a muslim and my wifey to be is a catholic, we rest each other religion!! Lmao
Re: She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by Onegai(f): 11:46am On Jul 09, 2012
OMG, run!!!! This is catholicism, forget that they preach the gospel of Jesus Christ there, read the same bible you read and one of their most powerful prayers is Psalm 23! They are obviously different from you because they are not pentecostals (even though the pentecostal church started from catholic church), infact, catholics are the same as hindus, muslims and Ifa and Olokun worshippers!! How can you expect this girl to understand and believe in the God you serve, whom is the same God she serves!! Nooo!!

Yep, that above is what sarcasm sounds like. You do know that you are judging this young lady and that isn't, oh what's the word, er, CHRIST-LIKE OF YOU.
Re: She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by Exponental(m): 12:04pm On Jul 09, 2012
Why worry? Catholics dont insist u marry catholic. Many of their daughters have married non catholics n their marriage was celebrated in the catholic church by a catholic priest.
If u know wat u want, go 4 it!

OP, my point is that being catholic is not a reason to not pursue a relationship with someone. And wow, you guys don't get sarcasm, do ya? No? Oh okay,okay.

angiemartinez obviously didn't understand you were being sarcastic.

@op, go ahead and marry her, it will work. Marriage involves a lot of sacrifice, you should make that sacrifice if you trully love her, afterall protestants bolted away from catholic, nothing wrong if you go back to the root.
Re: She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by ektbear: 6:33am On Jul 10, 2012
Christian is Christian. Shouldn't be a big deal. At some point you'll have to pick a new church to go to together.

But this would be true if she is Baptist and attends a different church
Re: She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by Parisfran(f): 12:50pm On Jul 10, 2012
A lot of people are in this position, the easiest solution is who can switch church should switch. My mum switched to my dad's church and now she's more serious than my dad that brought her into the church.

you date catholic, you dont know if it will work out, you date igbo, you dont know if that's a problem, you date broken home, you're whining on nl


no need to ask if something is wrong with you.

or how many ids you're masquerading under here. undecided
Re: She Is Catholic, And Am Not. Can It Work Out? by jigwe101: 2:53am On Nov 11, 2012
Why would you want to change her faith? Doesn't she believe in the same God you do? Other people fall for muslims and ask if that will work but you're here asking if it'll work out because she's not in the same christain denomination as you. As long as she loves God, that is what you should be looking for. Religion and relationship with God are as different as night and day. Stop being shallow and look at the love she has for God.

OP, What are you trying to work out.. Marriage or Fling?

If it is just a fling then no problem. But if marriage, then you are taking a big risk. Die-hard, strict catholics are difficult to change.

Whether it (marriage) will work or not... ONLY GOD KNOWS.
