Well...Na only 3times I don go church since this year

They r always preaching about money always
I bet to disagree. The Catholic church recognises the baptism done in the Anglican church & once you are baptised, you are baptised forever. The Catholic church knows this that if a baptism is done for u again, the second one is just drama

OP i repeat every catholic church allows inter denomination marriages . In fact in euro there are Anglicans priest that holds services in catholic churches . I hope some one is not lying to you for their own selfish gain . But if a priest told you this directly i suggest you report this to your Bishop as all they told you is false .

Sirheny007:
Be wise people and stop peddling false ideas/ rumors about the catholic church.
The catholic church has canon laws that cover this type of situation. It is very possible for a Catholic to marry an Anglican or whatever church..even a muslim. grin
All you need are;
1. A permission for Mixed Marriage
i.e. permission for a Catholic to marry a baptized non-Catholic.
2. A dispensation from Form
i.e. allowing you to marry with the officiant being someone other than a Catholic priest. This form includes a permission from place which states that the wedding is not in a Catholic Church.

In order to get that first permission (Mixed Marriage) you will make two promises. Your future spouse does not make the same promises but needs to witness your promises; namely:

I will remain a Catholic and continue to practice my faith.
I will do all in my power to baptize and raise the children as Catholic.

The Catholic Church is very unique..
It has laws/rules pertaining every situation.
Remain blessed.

Thank you very much for this.
@ikechizoba, above is what the Canon law of the Catholic church says about mixed marriage I.e. a Catholic marrying a non Catholic. The church allows mixed marriage so those threats by your priest and aunty should be reported to the Bishop IMMEDIATELY & don't take it lightly because they are contravening the laws of the church and spreading falsehood.

*I learnt there is a part of east where the rivalry between Catholics and Anglicans is SO intense, may be that's where you come from. If so, know today that it is anti-christ, if not those people would find it difficult to enter heaven no matter how righteous they think they are.

I am only certain of communion, Catholic churches don't recognise Anglican communicants.

I guess churches in remote areas take things too far besides going to heaven is not a function of church.

I was born a Catholic. My Dad was also a Knight, he is late now.

As i was growing, i became very inquisitive, asking questions. My questions actually stems from the kind of dreams i was having. I was having dreams of rapture continuously. In Catholic Church, we were taught Pogatory, not Rapture, this kept me curious.
I needed answers, there was no one to talk to, so i started seeking. Just like the Bible said 'He that seeks shall find', I found answers out of Catholic Church, so i left.
Am a Pentecostal now.

But, some years back, a Catholic man came to marry me, here were his conditions.

1. Return to Catholic Church.

2. Go back to your parish, meet your parish priest. explain yourself and apologize.

3. Your Dad will pay up all the dues which have accrued to you from when you left.

4. Then i will marry you in my Church, he said. (Catholic)

With the knowledge of the Bible i now have, i told him no. I saw him as a religious man, not a Christian. In all he said, i didn't see any iota of Christianity in him

Religion is plunging us back into what Christ saved us from. HATE, SELF, MALICE, SEGREGATION, AND HAUGHTINESS. All these are satanic traits.

You see, in this life, we came alone and we shall go back alone. Don't let Dogma put in place by men, keep you down.

Love is Christ's only message on earth.

Love is the opposite of Pride. Pride is selective, Love is not.

Ask yourself this my dearest, what Law as far as Christ's teachings are concerned, have you defaulted? and what law did your parents who for all their lives have been good Catholics living according her dogmas done to be shunned?

Wait, does Christ shun anyone? If Christ shuns anyone, which of us will even be alive today?

My dearest, let this hang over your head, If you are a Christian, then find out what Christ says about anything before you do them, and if you are right, pls do it irrespective of what people will say, because ultimately, it is Christ who died for you, you owe, not anyman.


Your parents will die, the Anglican Church can bury your Dad. be concern about his soul when he dies, not his carcass which shall remain in the dust.

Shalom.




This is absolute nonsense. From your write up its so obvious you were a luke-warm Catholic and never really had good understanding of Catholic teachings/dogma. You obviously never understood PURGATORY for you to have written such rubbish about the Catholic church not teaching rapture and saying its purgatory. Up till now you still dont even understand purgatory for u to have made such comments above. Anyway i leave you with your ignorance and your new found 'light'. But a word of advice: dont allow ignorance and lack of knowledge becloud your senses.

I understand your pain and point in standing between the person who will give you and everlasting joy.

Our problem in this country is that we attached so much importance to something that is not neccessary.

Since your father and mother who brought you to the catholichood, I see no reason why your aunty should be taking it so personal, like somebody who is hawking gala.

And for the priest, he just said that to scare you off from your husband, that Anglican is a darkness, though they were together before they depart each other.

I also have an uncle who is now a pastor in redeem, who told me to leave catholic that they don't teach anything, I never mind him, I still continue with my doctrine.

Please if you love your husband, enjoy him well and close your two ears from what they are saying, in other not to be distracted.


I am more of a Catholic than some people who were born inside the church and the doctrine.

Infact you hardly see me collect fliers of other church just because I won't go, and I don't want to waste the fliers.

I was born a methodist, but followed some friends who are Catholics and after going to the church, I really fell in love with the way they sing the Latin that day, so till today I don't joke with Catholics church, and I have encountered many huge success since I joined the church.

Even during my service, I dedicated most of my time to build the youth of the catholic church around me.

You just posted religion and self righteousness. Please seek Christ in order to understand Him.
YouTube has expository videos of Catholicism, except you are among those that reject Truth and Knowledge. God help us.

First of all your priest was wrong because the catholic church allows for what is called "mixed marriage" it means that you marry a non catholic in the church so that you can take communion,you can also take part in the Anglican Church if you so wish thereafter.for further studies,you need your catechism of the catholic church, the big one.

Let be serious if your Dad move off that church it would make everyone say you caused it. But in my Yoruba culture if you are marrying you attend the brides faith. The bride are the one giving out their daughter. If you are marrying a Muslim bride you go to mosque to marry. You can then covert her to the husband belief later. You like it or not I think Catholics nurtured you, so when it's time to rejoice they become second fiddle.

On the bolded, that's not true. Catholic church recognises Anglican's communicants & baptism. In fact, Anglican church recites the Catholic's Creed "I believe in God" which contains this part "I believe in the holy Catholic church..."

John Wesley's DreamOnce upon a time, one of the Wesley brothers, John Wesley had a dream which affected his life’s work tremendously. He dreamed that he died and came to the gate of heaven. He was anxious to know who had been admitted, so he questioned the keeper: “Are there any Presbyterians here?”“None”, replied the keeper of the gate.Wesley was surprised. “Have you any Anglicans?” he asked.“No one!” was the reply“Surely, there must be many Baptists in Heaven?”“No, none”, replied the keeper.Wesley grew pale. He was afraid to ask his next question:“How many Methodists are there in heaven?”“Not one,” answered the keeper quickly.Wesley’s heart was filled with wonder. The angel at the gate then told Wesley that there were no earthly distinctions in heaven. “All of us here in heaven are one in Christ. We are just an assembly who love the Lord”.Wesley was then taken downward, downward to the entrance of Hell. He met the keeper of the gate there.“Have you any Presbyterians here?” asked Wesley.“Oh, yes, many,” answered the keeper.Wesley stood still, “Have you any Anglicans?” he asked.“Yes, yes, many”, answered the keeper.“Are there Baptists in there”? Wesley continued to ask.“Of course, many,” replied the keeper.”Wesley was afraid to ask the next question. “Are there any Methodists in Hell?”The keeper of the gate grinned. “Oh Yes, there are many Methodists here.”Wesley could hardly speak. “Tell me, have you any there who love the Lord?”“No, no, not one, not one” he answered. “No one in Hell loves the Lord”So, it follows today, no member, (let alone deacon, or other title holders) of any denomination will makeheaven! Heaven is for those who love the Lord, not those who belong to any denomination, no matter how ‘spiritual’. Don’t be caught in the trap. Join the body of Christ, not denomination!

Op, I'll advice you report the priest to the your bishop, am a devoted catholic and down here in our diocese we are permitted to marry out of the church and there's no condition placed on our parents, even children of knights marry out of the church without any condition you stated above. My dear the problem is with your parish or diocese and not the catholic so stop painting the church black.
And to all you anti-catholic Christians, the church has been existing before any of the churches you are attending presently, instead of blasting the catholic go and find out the reason the Catholic church has remained strong and is still growing even with the harsh criticisms people throw at it.
Am catholic and proud, even if I marry from another church I will still love the catholic church and its doctrinessmiley

That makes you a Christian my dear. Christians are guided by the teachings of the Master nothing else.

Christ is nondenominational. It really aches my heart to see this Pride/self display amongst so called Christians.
The Lord says, two can not work together except they agree and a house divided against itself shall not stand. Satan saw our strength in unity and moved in on us, divided us, now he is moving in between the gaps striking us down and we do a good job helping him.

I remember one year when Pastor Chris Okotie rose up to contest for Presidency, the head of Catholic church in Nigeria went to the National News Papers and decreed that no Catholic shd vote for him becos he is a Pentecostal. But we saw Fr. Mbaka campaigning for Buhari against Jonathan. He went further to blackmail Jonathan in support of a man who openly hates Christ and the body of Christ.


Most of us are working for satan thinking we are working for God.

Love is the central message, if there's no love for man irrespective of who he is or where he is from, you are on your own.

I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now.

In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question
This is bullshit!!!!!!!. I was a full blooded Catholic before I married my husband, an Anglican.My parents are are of the noble order of St John's international (knights) my elder brother is a Catholic priest. My mum was buried 4months ago, priests and the Bishop attended. That you are now an Anglican does not give you the effrontery to start talking bad about the Catholic church.

I'm an Anglican; a child of an Anglican priest and a senior one at that, I married from the Catholic Church and the Cardinal then; Okogie, supported me. He only said I should not disallow their daughter from practicing her faith if she decides to. Till today they still ask after us and the type of love we both enjoyed from that church ever since is amazing.

I think your case is more of a village thing and self inflicted indoctrination. Appeal.to higher authority of the church on the matter.

Your case is not really peculiar as it also common in the new generation churches.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question

In catholic church it is assumed marriage happens between two consenting adults. Church won't marry minor, that I am sure. No one holds another adult responsible for action of other adults, not even God. Catholic church allow interdenominational marriages take place subject to certain conditions which you should be aware of if your said marriage took place in the church.
All those saying your parents won't be buried in the church are only raising unnecessary dust as you are an adult and free to make marital choices independent of your parental consent or otherwise. Your parents can't suffer because you marry outside church. What if you grow up and left for another church? Can anyone hold you in the church against your wish? This is why we advise you people study the church catechism and laws well so the no one holds you to ransom but you won't.

BTW, Faith and marriage which one is important to you? Your write up is a piece of paradox.

I think you need a tutorial on logic, this is the problem I notice always with some women.
Computer or maths graduate can help on this, I think it will help you sustain your marriage
she did not complain about her marriage but on how a church is treating her parent because she got married to a man in other ministry, pls my advice tell ur parent to start another church.
