Hi guys,
I’m Converting to Catholicism so we can get married in the Philippines; I was christened by the Church of England so I am a Christian. I was just wondering if anyone has converted before so I have an understanding of the process from someone who has converted before.
Do you have to be a Catholic to marry in The Philippines
to marry in a Catholic yes. I have read about this and also been told about it
I had no problems in getting married in the Philippines as a non catholic, divorced and in church.
I think it’s at the discretion of the local church, so I would ask first if it is possible.

I'm atheist and got married in a catholic church in the phils. The vicar asked what religon I was I replied, he raised his eyebrows, asked if I was going to convert, I said no, that was it no probs. Also meant the length of the service was considerably shorter. THe wife just had to say that any kids we have will be brought up in the catholic faith. I decided not to argue that one there and then!
It's been emontional
Fire and Brimstone for you then
I reckon that would sound about right over there, together with a nice donation to smooth things along. Funny enough though, you would not get away with it here in the UK
My sister, a Christian, was divorced with a child when she married a Catholic. They were both English, getting married in England. She just had to agree to bring the children up as Catholics.

That`s the first time I have heard of a divorced person being allowed to be married in a Catholic Church, or was it annulled
I was wrong on my other statement though as I married my first wife (non catholic) in a catholic church, forgot all about it
im also an atheist, and had no problems getting married in rp,and i also had 1 or 2 raised eyebrows wen i told them im a atheist...
It's best to get converted to the "church of Old trafford" most popular church of it's kind
And go to hell with the red devilsIt's best to get converted to the "church of Old trafford" most popular church of it's kind
I think like Joe I'd go for a hotel or beach or garden wedding.
Is that a church or a cult (is that the correct spelling)It's best to get converted to the "church of Old trafford" most popular church of it's kind
Its a cult for people who generally don't live in manchester or indeed have ever been!!! Always stay true to local - up the brewers!Is that a church or a cult (is that the correct spelling)

nope i would never convert
we got married by a woman judge who was telling jokes non stop (friend of the mother in law) at a hotel, just as it was getting dark, the pool was lit by floating candles, better than any church
things we do for love

Hi Drew, I am an atheist and I got married in a civil ceremony in Phils.
Just tell whoever asks what religion you were born, that's all there is to it.
Seems a bit drastic to convert when it is not required.
There have been many bad stories about the delays caused by the church in Phils.
Many Brits have given up on marrying in the church there because of all the obstacles that are put in the way, and have gone civil

Refreshingly, I'm in total agreement with you on both counts, here.There have been many bad stories about the delays caused by the church in Phils.
Many Brits have given up on marrying in the church there because of all the obstacles that are put in the way, and have gone civilMyrna and myself are both committed Christians ... but opted for a civil ceremony in order to cut down on all the falderals you alude to and, in turn, minimise the waiting time
for the release of a marriage certificate that weddings held in the Catholic Church allegedly entails.

Just tell them you ARE Catholic!!
Not sure how they could expect you to prove it? Pretty sure the Catholic church in UK dont issue Baptismal certs? My eldest son didnt get one...Just a couple of used candles.
They do, I've got one, found it last year
