apparently Hundal jr is getting married ...in an interfaith ??? he's atheist so single faith marriage to a catholic according to tisarpanth's latest FB post...he is crowing that the church is welcoming him in, now I have close relations with people of that faith and when it came to the sacrement of marriage unless you have had the sacrements of Baptism and First Communium you cannot partake of the sacrement of Marriage or Funeral service ...same as Us . He claims that his fiancee's church is allowing him but I suspect that the old rules still stand in some form . OK they get around it by getting the non-catholic a dispensation from the priest (so can get a church refusing I guess) and then the catholic in the couple has to swear to remain catholic and any children born of the marriage will be Catholics and brought up fully catholic i.e. sacrements must be taken.
