There was a time when religious affiliation was very important. Catholics married Catholics, Lutherans married Lutherans, and Reformed married Reformed. It was scandalous for someone to marry outside of their religious faith. Those days are gone. Most Christian parents are just happy that their children marry a Christian. It is not because parents are more “tolerant and enlightened,” but because religious affiliation is not important. Love trumps everything, including religion, in our society.

Well, I for one really wish that those days would come back. Experience shows that mixed marriages are not wise. The last 50 years of divorce, religiously-based strife between spouses, and a few new generations of theologically confused, indifferentist Catholics are among the negative consequences when “love trumps all,” especially when it trumps common sense.
