A Question about Marriage (to a Wiccan)

[Bennie_P]

Hi everyone.
I’m sorry for those of you who have had negative experiences with Wiccans in the past. All religions have their share of less than wholesome people and it sounds like a lot of you had have to deal with people who are largely unrepresentative of the faith as a whole. It seems there are a lot of misunderstandings on what this religion is actually about. But that’s neither here nor there. I’ve decided that this matter is better just left between my priest and I and don’t want to discuss my fiance’s religious life in this forum any longer. Is there any way to lock this thread?
Thanks for your understanding.

This is still my advice, just take it a day at time, focus on Christ, don’t try to figure it all out all at once. Talking to your priest is a great idea. My prayers are with you. Pray for guidance both for youself and your fiance.

May I suggest you take time to read this conversion story and

Dear Tapiocapudding,

I just read a post of yours on another thread, where you wrote, in part, that your fiance:

This statement alone is all you need to hear. As a Catholic, the Eucharist is the “source and summit” of our Faith. It is THE REASON for the Sacrifice of Mass. To marry a man, who may become the father of your (by your current plans) Catholic-raised children, who finds the Eucharist “disgusting” is a disaster.

You say he respects your Catholic beliefs (which you admit are still very uninformed), yet he expresses statements like the above? Something is not right here. I have heard you defend his religious beliefs very eloquently, yet this is what he counters with?

Please consider very carefully.

I’m sure you could understand why someone who doesn’t understand catholic beliefs would express such a sentiment. Obviously, he doesn’t understand the nature of the substance, but he is learning about my faith as I am learning about it too. He is sacrificing far more for me than I am for him.
Thank you for your advice everyone, but this issue needs to rest here. This is personal to me and my fiance and my church. I truly regret posting such personal business in the first place, it was an error on my part.
Thank you Bennie for your prayers and very helpful advice!
This thread has only served to make me wonder if the catholic faith is truly for me. I will keep trying to find comfort in this faith, but it is difficult. Pray for me. And please, please, let this trainwreck of a thread die. I love my fiance very much and it hurts me deeply to see his faith and character judged because he is different. The only advice I need in this matter is that of my priest, my church and prayers for the guidance of the Lord.
