Catholic dispensation.....question

Original post by Dougs Girl

Did any of you girls have to get a dispensation from the bishop? I'm Catholic, my FH isn't and we are getting married in the Catholic church, so we had to get one. I was wondering how long it takes for the papers to come back. We did all the paperwork at the church a few weeks ago.
Thanks
Carol

You may want to contact your Diocese, they would definitely have your answer. It may even be outlined on their website for you. Good luck!

what religion is your FH? im still part of christianity so maybe thats why

I know others who are interfaith and didnt have to do this



FH is Catholic and I'm Lutheran. We are getting married in a Catholic church and had to get approval by the arch diocese because we are considered a mixed marriage. Any non-Catholic faith is considered mixed marriage. I've been baptized, made my first communion and was confirmed, but we still needed approval. The only thing I had to submit was a copy of my baptismal certificate. You may have already signed the forms when you booked the church and gave them a copy of the certificate.




ditto - exactly!
