Oh, please. That passage has to do with marriage, not Lutherans and Catholics in dialogue.

lol. Is that what they teach you in parochial school? Good grief. It's worse than I thought.

Paul is NOT speaking about marriage in 2 Corinthians 6. He's speaking about idolatry and keeping yourself from it. Read your Bible, Judith, and embarrassing errors like the one you just posted might not happen.

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty." -- 2 Corinthians 6:14-18

Or how about this verse?

"And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." -- Ephesians 5:11

I sense a theme here.

I think you’re right from the context even if one could see a broader principle that would suggest marriage to an infidel would be a damaging and unequal “yoke” to the believer.
