Sorry if I ve to quote u, but truth has to be said. The pentecostal churches ve no issue with d catholics or other denomination but it is d Catholics who thinks that they re more holy dan d other denomination. Gracias.
You don't need to apologize cuz u quoted me.. My dear, Jeahova's witness,Seven Days Adventist,Cherubim and Seraphim. You can only marry there if u will convert to there church. Pentecostal churches will always tell u that Catholic church is an evil church and therefore u cannot be yoked with an unbeliever! A girl I would have engaged by now but didn't work out was cuz she worships in Redeem,and they don't marry outside unless im willing to convert/become a member of Redeem! So my dear,every party is guilty so don't try to apportion blame.

now am lost too,i know catholic even thou am a muslim but protestant or what,please explain.
alright leme gv u an insight.... Long time ago, thr was a man called martin luther, he used to be a catholic priest... He brought forth questions regarding the catholic church and made so many theories whch were contradicting the catholic faith, this led to a break up in d catholic church and he was ex communicated... Some people who believed in his teachings left d catholic church and followed him.. Martin luther protested against the teachings of d catholic church and that led to the birth of a new faction called the protestants... Martin luther is the founder of the protestant church, examples of thesse churches are redeemed christain church of God, salvation ministeries, dominion city, etc... Do u understand?


U can google martin luther (founder of protestant church) and get to know more... Its not a bad idea to do so.. I google d history of islam too u knw..

"Giving up my faith"...... WTF!!!??

since she is not Catholic.

if that is what your church teaches you, then you're just a brainwashed ídiot.

Am not joking. Don't be deceived. Whether catholic or protestant. Many people have spiritualist they visit. Some of your kinsmen have alfas (islamic cleric) they visit. You think they would come out and tell u the real source of their wealth. U don't want to know how much they have prayed, how many churches they have been to and how many sacrifices they have made. U just see them doing hail Mary and assume it is mother Mary that interceded on their behalf. Lol! This guy is not osu or ohu as u people call it. He is a pure igbo man. I have forgotten where is family compound is in nnewi. I new him through a family friend whose mum was my teacher in primary school. They are also from nnewi. Their family compound is close to each other. They are also cherubim and seraphim. Just pray you don't encounter problems that will push u to places u never imagined u will go.

You are right. I never saw it from that angle

Am also a catholic and I dnt see myself giving up my faith for anything or any1. If u both really love each other as u proclaim then u can come to an agreement. Dis isn't a new situation and couples do overcome them. Dnt end ur love story if really there is one. Dnt listen to advise 4rm anyone rather do what ur heart tells u. Advises will only confuse u the more.
Catholics be acting like their "faith" is different from that of other Christians... Please explain ur 'faith' and let's understand what's so special about being Catholic. Its almost like its another religion..

To those wonderful people who are of the opinion that I should have played along. Got married on her father's terms, and then revert to status quo. My fiancee's in law and a few people advised same.

However, it was a pill of deceit I detest. Her father had narrated a story of how some guy deceived a Catholic lady in same act. Besides, this old man in all honesty have been plain with me. He even called me his son on several occasions . To betray such trust will make a Brutus out of me.

I may not have applied sound judgment on some aspects of my failed engagement. But to sign a document before the Catholic Church and renege later will subtly rob me of my wife's respect, and make me less of a man. In addition, how do I teach my children the importance of trustworthiness when am far from same?

It's better to take a stand even if the world is against you. It may not the best of decisions, but it's far better than following a fickle crowd. Thanks once again for your timely comments.

I think there's something about kids that were raised in catholic and Anglican homes (especially catholic) i used to think i was more reserved and dedicated until i met my catholics friends in uni. At some point, i joined them in mid-week service cos my church (Anglican) will not allow you wear trouser but their reverend father understands that most of us come to church from lectures and it was quite encouraging...people should endeavor to make
their stance from the on set of every relationship to avoid stories like this. For me, i'll stick to Anglican and wouldnt mind to marry a catholic (infact, i'll love to) and wouldnt settle for anything else not because i dnt love other churches but for reasons best known to me.

You've opened up this thread for peeps who don't have "wisdom" to start insulting and bashing the Catholic church.

OP, I'm going to share two stories briefly with you.
1. June-July 2013, a suitor approached me - he was directed by some of my relatives. But my mum said NO!, same reasons: he is Catholic, I am Anglican. My dad was indifferent. He was an OK guy and all but personally I wasn't feeling him enough to push. So everything went.
But here is one thing the guy told me I really respect. He said we can go to any church to wed. Not that he has anything against my church but that me taking him to my church would break him as a man.
My point is changing church for a woman "would break you as a man". I mean, who is going to run the home, you or her dad?

2. My cousin changed his church to Catholic church for his girl. I don't have a problem with church, but I personally think its a girl that should accept the guys people, customs, religion etc

Stop with the who is meant to do what, in marriage, both parties are meant to make sacrifices. If the man's is to switch church, it shouldn't be a problem. It doesn't "break" anything, different men are defined by different things so, it'll only break people that are defined by church.

That said, the father in law giving conditions should marry his daughter na? Like wth?? Any compromise to be made should come from the person and not external sources. I also think the girl is weak and probably undecided I mean, all you have to do is get married in the Catholic Church and after that, in agreement with your wife, you raise your kids as protestants. It's really not something to give up your marriage for... in my opinion.
Re: October 24th: My Introduction Date That Never Came Through by Roland17(m): 2:36pm On Oct 24, 2015
Personally, i would never sacrifice or compromise my Catholic faith for anything and I mean anything..it has brought me soooo far.

Would I share intimate, Marital/ personal relationships with a non Catholic lady/wife? Absolutely yes, it's all about maturity and understanding as it differs with personalities..but i am not circumventing my Faith to please anyone.

I am not a Catholic today because I was born and raised in a Catholic family, I am proud Catholic in faith because I have personally discovered God in his infinite mercies through the Catholic faith and its doctrines.

@OP
My brother, the road would be a rough path but move on with an open mind, may God give you the grace, courage and strength to overcome this situation.

I would be praying for you.

WE ALL CLAIM WE ARE CHRISTIANS, YET WE ARE DIVIDED ALONG CATHOLIC, ANGLICAN, METHODIST, DEEPER LIFE, PENTECOSTAL, CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM LINES.

IT WILL BE AN INTERESTING GATHERING IN HEAVEN WHEN CHRIST COMES. MAY IT NEVER BE OUR HATRED AND SEGREGATIONS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE OF A DIFFERENT DENOMINATION THAN US THAT WILL BE A STUMBLING BLOCK TO OUR MAKING IT.

I DONT REMEMBER CHRIST MAKING SUCH DISTINCTIONS WHILE ON EARTH.

It will never be a "which church did you belong to while on earth?" Question. But one of "Is Christ in you?" And "how you lived your life".

Let us beware how we call ourselves unclean. God forbade us to call unclean animals he created, how much more HUMAN BEINGS HE CREATED IN HIS OWN IMAGE.

Ha! Eternity. It's small things that make one to miss the mark.

The Bible says "Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers". Not "Be not yoked with a believer from catholic or protestant churches".

Food for thought.

What is so special about being a catholic sef? There is only one way to God and it is through Jesus Christ his son!

The bible never said only Catholics will make it into heaven so whoever is carrying catholic on the head as if it is an automatic passport to heaven is deluding himself!

Jesus is the only way, truth and life! Not the church you attend or the Pope, Priest, Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist or Reverend that you think is the epitome to holiness. They are all men and can fall.

Thanks bro. Its good knowing someone had been in my shoes before. I had my reservations when she told she was catholic. I specifically sought counsel from my Pastor. He gave me the go ahead. In his reasoning, marriage should be based not on religious affiliation but on compatibility, and the ability of both parties to compromise. You can imagine the nightmares when things started unfolding. I had 'abstained' from committed relationships for a year plus with the hope anyone I go into will end in marriage.

I have moved on. But the scars?? Time heal all wounds.

Religious dogmatism..

Christianity has long being divided by some biased hypocrites. Most of them chasing thesame selfish acclaimed righteousness,instead of an open welcome hands to all that gets closer.

The Almighty God is so merciful and enduring,I pray the so-called followers which are Christians should have an open eye to see what are truly required of them from the most High.

I was born and raised a catholic,was an alter boy for years at a major seminary ,one time even thought I'd be a priest lol,I'd tell you this bro. My questions and convictions took me out of the catholic church,if you do that its like the muslims killing a convert just that in this case u will be a mini outcast,excommunicated kinda,we refered to people who left the faith as "born again people,they say they have seen the light" lol funny tho. My elder sister married a protestant against relatives wills,some people didn't even attend her wedding,and until today some still feels she doesn't "have a marriage" cos it wasn't in the catholic church. So take my cue bro,don't force it,if she's yours she will come by,leaving the catholic cult like faith is only done by conviction no be gra gra. And I'd tell you from experience,DO NOT covert,Catholism as Christianity is questionable,but that's not what this topic is for So I'd leave it at this. Receive Grace to make the right choice.
u must be sent from the pit of hell trying to demonise the same catholic church which is the root of other churches today.
