Would the Pope say that marriage to a Muslim was being unequally yoked to an unbeliever?

The traditional Catholic teaching is don't marry outside the faith, period. I, personally, was at one point mildly rebuked in the confessional for marrying an Episcopalian. I have a very conservative (but 20th century) catechism at home which insists that a person "seriously keeping company" with a non-Catholic must mention it in confession.

As long as both of you are Christians, then that's OK.

It is NOT scriptural for a Christian to marry a non-Christian.

The Catholic Church permits interfaith marriages as long as the Catholic spouse agrees that the children will be raised Catholic.
