Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to post, but I do have an important question and hope I can get some help.
Almost two years ago I got married to my Muslim husband in a civil ceremony. He insisted on having an Islamic wedding ceremony, which was explained to me as just writing down a contract and being very easy. Well, that was the biggest mistake of my whole entire life. Durig the “ceremony” I was made to say something in Arabic, which spoke of the prophet Mohammed which obviously I do not believe in. My husband insists I was not secretly made to change religion to Islam.

I deeply regret what happened, and agreeing to this but at that time I was not very religious. Now I started going to church again and I am still with my husband but we do not have a very good relationship, and cannot agree on raising children. He insists on raising them Muslim which I just cannot agree with. I would like to talk to a priest and unsure of what to do or how to make this right, or if I can even go to confession. Can someone please advise?

And please try not to judge me. I was younger, naive and now dealing with the consequences.

Thank you.
 
You can certainly return to the practice of your faith. Call the pastor of your local church and make an appointment to talk to the priest for spiritual counseling.
 
Welcome!

As the others have said, the best thing to do is simply make an appointment with the local priest. He will be in the best position to advise you.

I will certainly pray for you! It’s difficult when we disagree with our spouses, and most poignantly when it is over the manner of raising children. My heart goes out to you.
