[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing. It was the Arlington diocese treating me terribly when I wanted to marry dh who was a Protestant. The priest flat out said he didn’t want to and needed dh to convert. And when I married him they refused to bless the marriage until he went through rcia. Dh was willing to attend church weekly but he did not want to convert.

I would have loved to have attended weekly and raised my kids catholic (I tried to return a decade later when pregnant and they wouldn’t allow me to baptize the kids either). I still wish I could go back but I’m done with the Arlington diocese. It has to be the most conservative one in the country. The strangest thing because I’ve had cousins who married non Catholics and were still allowed to take communion and attend. [/quote]

My Catholic mother married a Protestant in 1957 no problem. My Father did convert. He promised to raise kids Catholic. Never an issue.

Funny part my older sister and young sisters were great singers. My older sister even appeared in TV and in every school musical. They sang 9:30 am mass.

My parents including Dad and us kids sat 3rd row left side every mass for 12 years. My dad died at 54.

Here is wild part the Priest who said mass visited Dad a lot when such. But never never ever talked religion. Talked about boxing, baseball, men stuff one hour each week for entire year dying of cancer. Same hour each week.

My Dad called for him his last day to visit. He came and asked for private conversation. Catholic Priest comes to kitchen and tells Mom he asked to be baptized, holy communion, confirmation. . He thinks he will die today. He also wants to be buried in a Catholic cemetery with you. My Mom was shocked. He was a Irish Protestant. Never ever had this come up.

He did it. Around two hours later when whole family there and his brother he got really really bad. Called back Priest did last rites and he died.

My mom and dad piss poor. We were hanging on by a thread. So nothing in it for him. My Mom and him are buried together. When alive was Catholic a few hours. But will be Catholic forever.

BTW my sister married a Methodist and brother a Lutheran no issue in Catholic Church raising kids Catholic

I think this story fake. Why not just go to different Catholic church. [/quote]
