[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi wife is Hindu[/quote]

His wife very carefully states she was raised Hindu. I haven’t seen anything about her current practices or beliefs, not that they should matter. [/quote]

If she hasn’t converted they are living in sin.[/quote]

This is not Catholic teaching. And you have no idea whether or not the pre-conversion marriage was subsequently convalidated (“blessed”) by the Church.  [/quote]

They are not married in the Catholic church and she has not converted and they have not received a dispensation to marry in the Catholic church, hence they are living in sin.

I don't care if they live in sin, i'm just saying they are.

Just like divorced and remarried people and gay people. Living in sin, according to the Catholic church.

No COMMUNION for you!

Vance married his wife in an “interfaith” ceremony in 2014.

He became a Catholic in 2019.

Because the marriage predated the conversion, no “dispensation” was required, nor could one have been granted or obtained.

The Church ordinarily recognizes the preexisting marriages of converts.

If Vance and his wife desire to they can obtain “convalidation” of their existing marriage. They may have done so. You have no idea whether or not they did.

They are not “living in sin.”

You do not know what you are talking about and should stop misrepresenting Catholic teaching and defaming people. [/quote]

If he's such a devout Catholic the kids and wife would be baptized and they'd renew their vows before a Catholic priest. None of that will happen, of course, because the unethical fraud doesn't believe in anything.[/quote]

Catholics do not force people who do not believe to be baptized, even their wives.  That is not a Catholic teaching.  You have no idea whether they have renewed their vows.

I agree with you that he's an unethical fraud, but you can insult him without making up stuff about the religion he probably doesn't even believe in.  [/quote]

Totally agree with this as a Catholic married to an atheist.  But it’s pretty unusual for the Catholic not jto have the kids baptized and typically insist on at least CCD thru first communion.  Somewhat surprised the kids haven’t been baptized, and wonder if the oldest is in CcD.  Assume he goes to a Catholic Church in del ray?  Anyone ever seen him there?[/quote]

No idea about church attendance but they went to/go to Catholic school [/quote]
