ROMAN CATHOLICS & MARRIAGE

A news survey found most Catholics believe a non-Catholic spouse must promise to have the couple's children raised Catholic. But that’s hasn’t been true since church law was changed in 1983. Here are some other findings:

Is your opinion about marriage have been at least "somewhat" informed by church teaching? Yes – 55%

Were you married in a Catholic church or have had their marriages blessed by the church? Yes - 70%

Is divorce acceptable in some cases? Yes – 76%
