I am a Catholic and my fiance is an atheist. The thing is that I want to have a catholic ceremony. He completely respects my religion and admires the fact that i am very faithful, so that's not an issue. It's just that I read that if a catholic is married to a non baptized, then the marriage is not considered a sacrament. Here is where my question comes in. Does this mean that I wouldn't be able to get the communion in mass after I'm married to him, as if I was having sex out of marriage? I would really appreciate a helpful answer because I am very very curious about this.
Thank you

Re: [sweetie] Catholic marrying an atheist

Honestly, I have not idea what the Roman perspective is on this. I do know that he would have to make all the promises and go through all the classes the RCIA requires with you before your marriage. That includes classes as it relates to what the "Sacrament of Marriage is" and so on. That may be an issue with your intended I don't know.
My Advice... make an appointment and go talk to your priest... That way you are getting it from the source.
