If the non-Catholic spouses believe in Catholic doctrine and Catholic sacraments, the door of welcome is open wide indeed: they are whole-heartedly invited to become Catholics.

Wasn’t a difficulty for my Catholic father and Presbyterian mother.
If she wanted to participate in a communion service, she went to her church and did so.

Let the non-Catholic spouse go through the RCIA program and become a Catholic.
Otherwise, the answer is “NO.”

I went through RCIA and married my wife. 23 years this month.

Has the Catholic Church given up on absolutes now? That old comeback, “Is the Pope Catholic?” doesn’t say what it used to say, I think.

The non-Catholic spouses would sure be as welcome as the flowers in May in my RCIA class!

At present only Catholics are allowed to take communion in Catholic churches and this presents difficulties for couples where one is Catholic and the other not. Why?
My husband is not a member of my church. He attends and is active and helpful but is not a baptized member.
He would not take communion if it was offered to him because he understands that some things you don't take lightly.
Why would you want your spouse to take lightly things that are deadly serious?

In the rare occasions where I have been in a catholic church, I don’t take communion there because I am not a catholic.
Nobody would know I wasn’t.
It’s a matter of respect for the church, and their believers.

Let the non-Catholic spouse go through the RCIA program and become a Catholic. Good thing Peter didn't have Cornelius go through all of that to follow Christ...or anyone else in the NT for that matter.

Before you answer that, remember that people who desire black and white answers are mentally ill.

I see what you did there.
To: ealgeone
Scripture nowhere tells us we can use electricity.
You appeal to the same principle frequently—If it isn’t in Scripture, it’s illegitimate.
