Mixedmarriages, by which is understood the marriage of Catholics to non-Catholics, have always been disapproved of by the Church.
The dangers attendant on mixedmarriages are these: The non-Catholic party, whether a Protestant or not a Christian, far from assisting in the education of the children, will be an obstacle to it, and will perhaps throw scorn and ridicule on Catholic faith and practice.
By tolerating or permitting mixedmarriages the Church does not approve them; on the contrary she strongly disapproves of them and she insists so forcibly on the children being brought up in Catholic faith, because this is the main object of matrimony.
