Hey Guys,

I searched a lot but some information based on they can some are not.. Does Catholic guy marry someone who is non catholic?At first I wanted ask this question before I ask to my bf

Here is the situation my bf is Spanish Catholic but their parents are from old school and especially her mum always wants him to take her out during the weekend and my boy is spending his day with his parents. He is a family guy..

I met his parents but I am Muslim and they know my religion.. once a time I asked him, what if your parents dont like me, how would you gonna act: he told me they respect my decision thats what he told me..

and from my observation, they really attached to each other..whenever smt comes up. all fam comes together... Do you think he is lying to me? If you ask me you should ask to him, I am sure he will answer they respect me...so what are the ways to ask him that kind of topic:

dirtball agony auntReally, the only thing you can do is ask him. What I'm about to say is based on my knowledge having been rased catholic.

In order for you to get married in a catholic church, you have to be catholic. Being that his family is Spanish Catholic, this is likely what his parents will want for him. Spanish Catholics have a reputation for being some of the most devout Catholics out there this day and age. BUT, just because that is what his parents might want, doesn't mean that is what he will want.

Ultimately when it comes to religion, everyone is different in the level of importance they give to it. You have everything out there from athiests to extremists. Since beliefs are very personal by nature, this is a serious conversation you'll need to have. You need to ask yourself, would you be willing to convert? Would he be willing to convert? Do you want a religious wedding? Is this relationship even going toward marriage?

So, to answer your question, it depends on how deeply those beliefs are held. If they are very deep, then this will be a larger hurdle for you to overcome.
