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.

My dad was Catholic, married a non-Catholic who converted to Catholocism for him.

Then he decided he did not like the lifestyle of having a wife and five children so he left town and filed for divorce. It had nothing to do with religious beliefs. My mother went to the priest for help in dealing with the emotions and issues, and from that moment on, she and we five children were essentially shunned by the church due to the (impending) divorce.

What do you suppose that experience did to reinforce our beliefs and loyalty to the Catholic church?

Well, I for one really wish that those days would come back.

Here here! And bring back those anti-miscegenation laws too!

Those were the days.

Better to pray for unity for all Christians.
