The Vatican warned Catholic women on Friday to think hard before marrying a Muslim..... Heh Heh...Because it is morally equivalent to bestiality?

Isn't this the same as telling someone not to stick their tongue in a light socket?

Excellent point, and some of the posts make additional good points about custody/law issues in dissolution of these marriages. Frankly, I think people ought to consider very carefully before marrying the citizens of other countries as well, regardless of faith. There are some truly awful international custody disputes involving Americans and citizens of other nations, where the children, previously raised in the U.S., are removed to the country of the non-American citizen parent and held there. For some reason, I want to say there are some very tragic German cases. I don't know if that is because the German government isn't stepping up to the plate to intervene, or because there are a greater number of American-German marriages due to U.S. military presence in Germany.

Most of these so called "Christians" are don't have a clue on what they should believeI heard a former Protestant minister converted to Catholic say one of the best things he learned in seminary was to never presume that everyone knows the basics of the Christian faith.
And any good teacher knows that "repetition is the mother of learning".
Teach and persuade, Christian. Repeat the basics. Someone, somewhere said to do it with gentleness and reverence, yes?

Thank goodness - the drivel that has been coming out of the Vatican about "building a bridge to Islam" was making me ashamed to be a Catholic. This warning, on the other hand, is what Catholics need to hear.

It said one possible problem was with Muslim in-laws and advised future mothers that they must insist on Church policy that children born of a mixed marriage be baptized and brought up as Catholics. Does anyone in the Vatican have ANY familiarity with the tenets of Islam? Children are automatically Muslim by virtue of birth to a Muslim. Catholicism is out of the question.
The appropriate answer in this situation is "Don't marry a Muslim at all. It's against the Faith!"

The catch is that if you are stupid enough to need to be warned, you are too stupid to heed the warning.

Uh-ho. The libs aren't going to like this, no sir-ee. How dare someone urge judgement against another religion. I called it. Was over at the DU and here was the posters comment on this story.
Oh please spare me the holier than thou babble. The implication here is that muslims are so narrow minded in their views that xtians would never be able to live with one of them. Wasnt too long ago catholic women were less than human.
