That means they will not be allowed to marry in the Church, and THAT means that in all likelihood, their children will not be raised in the faith.

Just a point of clarification: Catholics who have not yet received the sacrament of confirmation are to receive it before being admitted to marriage, if this can be done without grave inconvenience. (CIC 1065)

Personally I think it should be strictly enforced. I have a Niece and Nephew that were never confirmed and were allowed to marry in the Church.

Really? I honestly have never heard that. I am sadly acquainted with several young people who were told they had to go through the entire RCIA program and be confirmed before even being allowed to set a wedding date.

I suppose “grave inconvenience” is subject to interpretation on the part of the priest or bishop.

Thanks for the info!

Regards,

PS: I say “sadly” because the young people of whom I speak chose not to go through RCIA and tack on an extra almost year to their engagements, and their children have not been raised in the faith — most of them are not even baptized.
