[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Archaic religion is still archaic, news at 11.

How on earth can you be shocked?![/quote]

C’mon - how can anyone be surprised at this “news?”

It wasn’t easy for me at 26 and a cradle Catholic raised by a Catholic father and a Methodist mother to marry DH, an un-baptized adult male without any church affiliation.

- father had to complete a statement advising that he was aware of and approved of this pending union involving an unbaptized person. Had to be co-signed by his parish priest.

- mother had her Methodist minister complete a separate form signed by her minister

- fiancé was not at all interested in converting to Catholicism and therefore would not be baptized, we were told that we would not qualify to have a Catholic nuptial Mass. instead, a permanent deacon would perform a brief ceremony without communion. (Actually, this was a relief - the briefer and simpler the better!)

- attended six sessions with our marriage celebrant

- attended several meetings with our marriage mentors, a long married couple from the church

- attended a weeklong required marriage retreat
