Let’s see what it says:
*"Although, as Pope Paul VI once put it, the **Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church are **already in **“nearly total communion” **with each **other, a Catholic is still expected to obtain permission **to marry an Orthodox. If the couple **desires that the wedding should take place in an **Orthodox church, a dispensation from canonical **form by the Catholic bishop is also required. **This is necessary for liceity, not validity. The **Catholic partner will be asked to give an assurance that he or she intends to remain a Catholic and do all that is possible to baptize and raise *any children as Catholics. The Orthodox party is to be informed that the Catholic party has given this assurance.
*An Orthodox also needs the permission of the Orthodox Church to marry a Catholic. Here it must be kept in mind that as a general rule, t**he Orthodox Church does not allow its faithful **to be married in a non-Orthodox ceremony, and that in Orthodox practice the marriage usually takes place in the parish of the groom. It is of the greatest importance that the couple discuss the implications of where the wedding ceremony *will take place with both their pastors, Catholic
and Orthodox.
*For several decades, the usual Catholic practice has been to accommodate the requirement placed on the Orthodox partner by his or her *Church and recommend an Orthodox wedding
*to avoid obvious negative effects on the couple…**Whenever possible, it is **helpful for the Catholic and Orthodox pastors to **be in contact with each other to discuss the pastoral implications of the couple’*s decision."
