Speaking as a Catholic, if an RC wanted to marry an Anglican, then this is permissable if the Anglican agrees to become RC. This should mean that the Anglican becomes baptised as an RC and udergoes 'training' prior to the marriage. In practice though, this means that the Anglican agrees not to prevent the partner practicing Catholicism and that all subsequent children are baptised and brough up as Roman Catholics. This is the only *real* requirement. Oo, and the marriage has to be a Catholic marriage.

- good answer; although, I disagree with Catholicism because it's wrong.

- This was probably right about 30-50 years ago but certainly not the case today. Talk to a knowledgable Catholic who knows their faith. Vatican II changed a lot of issues inside the church.
  
  As someone once said, "Many people hate Catholicism because of what they believe it stands for NOT for what it truly stands for."

- Jan is talking utter nonsense. I am an Anglican and I married an RC here in England in her parents' RC parish church. If I had wanted to convert to Roman Catholicism, undoubtedly some training would have been necessary but re-baptism was never required. Tony Blair and Cardinal John Henry Newman were converts from Anglicanism and did not require re-baptism.

Yes, and in most dioceses, they may marry in the Church by a priest if one partner is Anglican and the other is a Christian baptized in the name of the Trinity. They may be expected to undergo marriage counseling. (This is true of any couple married in many Anglican churches.) It helps, obviously, if both partners agree on the essentials of doctrine if they plan to make the Church a major part of their lives.

It depends on whether the Christian is Catholic or Protestant. A Catholic can only marry a baptized Catholic partner. Protestants (Baptists, Pentecostals, Presbyterians, Anglicans, AOG, Methodists, etc.) however are allowed to intermarry between denominations freely, although the closer the denominations are in terms of conservativeness, style of worship, etc. the easier the marriage will be if you are both practicing believers. I am unaware of restrictions placed on Mormons or Jehovah's Witnesses however.

- Catholics are free to marry anyone they want. They are not able to celebrate a Mass during their wedding ceremony if both parties are not Catholic but the church will certainly marry people of mixed faiths. (As long as one of them is Catholic)

- Angel Baby is talking rubbish. I am an Anglican and I married a Roman Catholic in a RC church in England, with my Anglican (high church Anglo-Catholic) priest in attendance to deliver the homily (though not the benediction or any sacrament).
