WhetheraProtestantcanconscientiouslyenterintosuchanagreement. dependswonthe'kindofProtestantheis.SomeProtestants, throughignorance,ofcourse-imaaliethattheCatholicreligionisa hadone.SuchProtestantswottld certainlythinkitwrongtoallow theirchildrentobebroughtup Catholicsand,infacttheyreally oughtnottothinkofmarryinga Catholicwifeatall.Othert'rotestantstakeabroadervieekthe case.WhilePreferringProte.stan bismthemserves,theyallowthat"it ismuchamatteroftasteoropinion,"andthat"therecanbego0 Catholics,justastherearegood Prcteetants,"etc.,etc.Hence, theyhavenoconscientiousobjectionto allowingtheirchildrentobebroulght ItoCatholics,eventhoughthey mightpreferittoleotherwise.And ifthe,-arewillingtopledgethemselvessolemnlytothis,'theChurch canallowthemerriagetoproceedWitnototherwise.
TherecentdeclarationoftheHoly Seaonthesubjectofmarriagehas puttorestmanyquestionswhich usedtobemattersofdiscussionand difficulty,amidprovidedaclearview oftheCatholicposition.Itis enoughtorefertothreeofItspositionshere:-(1)Amarriage to twoCatholicsmustLeconductedin thepresenceofaCatholicpriestand twowitnessesaccordingtocertain definiterules,orelsetheactien3 marriageatall.(2)Thesamerule appliesevenwhereoneonlyoftbe PartiesisaCatholic.HenceamarriagebetweenaCatholicandaProtestant,performedbeforetheRegistrarorProtestantminiter,willne nomarriageatall-eventhough,accordingtotheusageofthecivillaw itisregisteredangeetiMategeastich (1)Itmaybeadded,toavoidmisunderstaniding,thattheChurchdoes notinterfereInthismatterwiththe validityofmarriagesbetweentwo outsiders(saytwoProtestantsor twoPagans.)Inotherwords,the Churoh'slawsapplyonlywhenat leastoneofthepartiesisaCathohutnototherwise.
