Newbie with a question

This is an article from a nondenom church that I felt was easy to read and perhaps it would be a good article to share with your husband.

Yes, we did get married in the Catholic church by a Priest. We did not however have a full mass. When child #1 was born, I was not active in church so he took child to church with him. When child #2 was born, I was back in church and I took #2 with me. This bothers him tremendously but he does not force a change. We still continue this every sunday. #1 with him and #2 with me.
I do agree with you that he would probably take it better from a man. Unfortunately I have no male friend that is extremely knowledgeable in our faith to explain things to my husband. My husband WANTS me to learn about my faith. It has been irritating to him that I (cradle Catholic) follow my faith with no deep knowledge. This is why I’m here on the computer. I want to learn.

Thanks to you and to everyone for your help on this question.

Bless you all,
TJBJ

If that’s the case, I would ask him to go to a class with you or for you so he can help explain it to you. With the two young children the ages they are, having him go to class by himself and then coming home to explain it to you might be the way to go.

Or even ask him to come here to this forum and ask questions that you can discuss the answers together.

In that way, you can honor your husbands views as well as both of you can learn the Catholic faith.

God Bless,
Maria

Why are you shocked? If they love each other, what difference does it make? Sure they may have to come to some sort of agreement on their belief differences (agree to disagree), but other than that, I don’t see any problem.

I’m just surprised that they ever got together in the first place. I’m not sure where the OP is from, but in my area of the country, CofC is very common, very conservative, and extremely negative about the Catholic church (and that’s pretty much across the board). I don’t think there is anything wrong with it at all - hopefully my post didn’t read that way. From my own experience, I actually think the CofC has more in common with the Catholic church than most of its members would care to admit.

9 So what is to be done, brothers? When you assemble, one has a psalm, another an instruction, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Everything should be done for building up.
27
If anyone speaks in a tongue, let it be two or at most three, and each in turn, and one should interpret.
28
But if there is no interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.
29
Two or three prophets should speak, and the others discern.
30
But if a revelation is given to another person sitting there, the first one should be silent.
31
For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged.
32
Indeed, the spirits of prophets are under the prophets’ control,
33
since he is not the God of disorder but of peace. As in all the churches of the holy ones, 10
34
women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.
35
But if they want to learn anything, they should ask their husbands at home. For it is improper for a woman to speak in the church.
36
Did the word of God go forth from you? Or has it come to you alone?
37
If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or a spiritual person, he should recognize that what I am writing to you is a commandment of the Lord.
38
If anyone does not acknowledge this, he is not acknowledged.
39
So, (my) brothers, strive eagerly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues,
40
but everything must be done properly and in order.

according to part of this scripture, he shouldn’t be speaking either. I would look into history a bit and see what rights women had. I think this verse is more about following the rules of etiquette. In Corinth at that time, I would guess it was improper for women to speak in any public place.

Hello, I would like to know where you derive that from this scripture? Tghank you and I look forward to your response.

I was just making a point that if you take a verse out of context, you can explain it anyway you want. The verse I was talking about was

But if there is no interpreter, the person should keep silent in the church and speak to himself and to God.

If the husband doesn’t believe that a priest is an adequate interpreter, only a certain person from his denomination, and if that person isn’t present, then the husband can’t talk either.
