[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I joined a church that I have not in the boundary for here in the Diocese of Arlington,  I directly emailed the priest and told him that my husband and I had been attending the church for a few months but had not registered yet.  I explained that my husband was not a Catholic but that we were going to raise our children in my faith and supported us by attending mass with us weekly.  We had checked out the other parish that we were zoned for, and my husband found it off-putting.  I requested that the priest allow us to join his parish and he did.  So, if you find yourself more comfortable in another parish you could ask.  But, being welcoming is better than being rude... I would first suggest sticking it out a few weeks, then try a new parish.[/quote]

Your poor husband. Your faith does not trump his. [/quote]

It sounds to me like that the couple had made an agreement to raise the kids catholic and that the husband would attend but not convert -- and that pp was totally upfront about the situation with the parish she wanted to join.[/quote]
