[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it a sin for a Catholic to marry without committing to bring his kids up as Catholics?  Perhaps he is feeling too guilty to attend church.[/quote]No.[/quote]
I was the one who asked the question.  Obviously I'm not Catholic.  I guess it's just that a Catholic priest won't perform the marriage without that commitment, but that although the marriage does not have the Church's blessing, it is not sinful; is that correct?

I hope this does not sound snide; I'm just trying to get my facts straight.[/quote]

If you are not married in the church, and you are Catholic, you are living in sin. Only marriages celebrated by a priest are valid, sacramental marriages. The parents must promise to raise their children Catholic. [/quote]

OP here.  I'm not living in sin.  I even waited to have sex until we were married by an ordained Anglican priest.  I'm sorry the Catholic Church disagrees with that, but their opinion of marriage has nothing to do with the state of my salvation.

I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about your DH. He's the one who is RC and not following the rules.  And actually if you were married by an Anglican priest, he should be good in the eyes of the Roman Catholic church. Anglicans are schismatic, but not heretical. They are Catholics, just not Roman Catholic. [/quote]
