My husband is Catholic and I'm Baptist. We got married in an UCC (non-denominational) church. His mother claims we have to have a ceremony in the Catholic church in order for the church to allow us to raise our kids Catholic. Is this true?

  If you are trying to defend the catholic church, read the bible and compare how many catholic traditions are totally, unbiblical.
  
  You are obviously one of those people who put their mouth into gear, before their brain is engaged. Get your facts right, and then challenge me.
  
  Why would you make your first comment to me, so rude? What is wrong with you?

• I am amused that you are offended by "rudeness" when the first thing you did was attack a faith you clearly know little about. I challenge you to do what I did many years ago, go to the Catholic church to see how they defend themselves from who bear false witness against them. Like you do here.
  
  By the way, did you know that 70% of the Catholic mass is read or sung scripture? Did you know that if you went to a Catholic mass everyday-as the Catholic faith encourages-you'd read the entire bible every single year?
  
  Today's reading are:
  
  Matthew 21:1-11
  Isaiah 50:4-7
  Psalm 22:8-9, 17-20, 23-24
  Philippians 2:6-11
  Matthew 26:14 - 27:66 or Matthew 27:11-54
  
  Do you have a problem with THIS?

  "A faith I clearly know nothing about?" I was raised catholic, I attended a catholic school. I have been to dozens of mass's. Don't know them? Oh, I know them alright, that is why I left the church, because of its faulse teachings and greed.
  
  Do I have a problem with reading The Holy Bible? I embrace The Holy Word of The Bible. You have listed todays readings, and that is nice, but you see, I don't need anyone to tell me when or what verses to read, I accept The Whole Bible, as The Living Word of God, not just the parts that suit me. We can't accept the parts in The Bible that we like and disregard the verses that don't suit us.
  We can't just make up our own rules as we go along, as the catholic church does.
  
  Example: Jesus has clearly instructed us, in The Bible to
  "call NO MAN on earth, father, because there is but one Father and He is your Father in heaven".
  Catholics call the priest father and the pope the holy father, that is so arrogant.
  The Lord tells us to humble ourselves, and the priests, bishops and popes dress up, with such exstravagance showing off the church's wealth, trying to look important, and Jesus wore sandles. Jesus humbled Himself.
  
  Jesus said "for what ever you do unto your brother, you do unto Me"
  
  The pope lives in a $50 BILLION vatican city, while thousands upon thousands of people, (babies) (children) are starving to death, and dying of thirst. These people are not just the third world (as a nun once told me) These people, are our brothers, so in fact, the church is keeping its wealth, and watching Jesus starve and go thirsty.
  
  Don't tell me that some other religions do the same, because I know they do, and it is wrong.
  
  The catholic church is the wealthiest organisation in the world. Have you been to Rome? Have you walked a few steps away from the vatican and seen hungry people ravenging through garbage bins, looking for FOOD! and the homeless sleeping in the streets. There is no excuse, it is just plain greed!
  
  Reading The Holy Bible, The living word of God is one thing, BUT we must also LIVE The word of God. Going to mass ever day is not helping anyone, what good does that do? Does the plate go around at every mass? for the "silent" collection.
  
  I could keep going and name a dozen or more things the church does, that is unbiblical, but enough for now. If you would like me to, just let me know.
  God bless

• I was just curious, I know to each their own but my in-laws were in a similiar situation. Mother-in-law is a presbytrian and father-in-law a catholic, they chose to raise their children as atheists feeling that God would see children of their union and abomanation and the children were distant to go to hell anyway. All my wife's siblings grew up and they all became Christians. So sometimes good things can come out of atheism.
