Question Mary — I heard that now, while the Church allows a Catholic marriage ceremony between a Catholic and non-Catholic (as it always has), it now does not allow a Catholic mass. Is that true? Do you know the reasons for this?

[Mary Kochan]

I had not heard that.

I married a Catholic, I’m not Catholic. I don’t know for sure if they would have allowed a mass but I didn’t want one since it wasn’t going to be a symbol of unity but division. I’d say if there’s an outright ban that would be why.

"it now does not allow a Catholic mass"

Just the oposite. They only started having Mass for marriage between C and non-C in the '60s.

As far as I know this has always been the case. I married my bride in 1980 and it was the case then.

That’s not the case.
