Understanding Mixed Marriages and Disparity of Cult
Mixed marriages refer to unions between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, while disparity of cult involves a Catholic and a non-baptized person. Both scenarios require careful consideration from the couples and their spiritual leaders, as the differences in faith can lead to significant challenges. Even though these differences are not necessarily insurmountable obstacles to marriage, they can create tensions regarding how spouses live out their faith and raise their children. The Catholic spouse is particularly reminded of their role in maintaining their faith and ensuring that children are raised within the Catholic tradition.
