Well, no one said it was cut and dry.
But you can't tell someone you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only way, the truth, the light, and then marry an athiest or a Budist.
Just doesn't add up.
Now the one who marries while backslidden from thier faith and returns to it, or the one who marries before coming into thier faith... that would be a different can of beans.
But for a Catholic to marry an Athiest.. tells me the Catholic doesn't truly adhere to Catholocism. Doesn't really truly believe the teaching.
And it will tell thier children thus as well.

My folks were not flippant, they made sure us kids understood faith was important and not to marry into something we didn't believe.
Or maybe they believe there more out there then what they've been taught! Or they are in love, who knows all the reason. All I know, it's not so cut and dry!
