That's not a Catholic teaching that una village Parish priest needs to be sanctioned. As for burying your parents, are they sure your parents will die before them
If they no bury them, your hubby church will surly do. This people worse pass Boko Haram ooo

I came from a staunch Catholic family, my dad is a knight, he has held many positions in various catholic association, right now he is down with partial stroke for the past nine years now.

In 2014, I got married to my Anglican husband with the full support from my parents,but my daddy's only sister, who lives in the village,was strongly against it,she fought our kinsmen when they secretly anchored our first for the fear of being reported to the church, threatening to report to the parish priest, saying that Catholics are not allowed to marry non Catholics in our village,she went ahead and reported l and my parents to the church.

Due to my dads condition, they couldn't go, so i went alone but was shocked at what the priest told me, he made me choose between the two churches, making it clear that if i wed in Anglican, that I have chosen darkness over light.

To cut the long story short, I successfully got married but my aunt made her own family and our kindred not to attend my traditional marriage, it was rather attended by the non Catholics, and also the church made my parents not to attend my white wedding, that if they attend, that they will not bury them when they die. But now, even without attending my white wedding, the church still insists that they will not bury my parents if they die since they allowed me to marry an Anglican, except if they openly apologize to the whole church.

My question is apologize for what? Please am not trying to paint catholic black, I was a devoted catholic even till now, but this?? pls NL, I need the address to the head of catholic church in Nigeria,I need answer to this please question
If you really want the Catholic Church to bury your parents, I will suggest you take the matter to an higher ecclesiastical seat, maybe the Bishop of your diocese or something. I am not Catholic, I am not Anglican either so I don't know how these kind of matters are resolved in your denomination. Just my humble opinion. God help you.

Does the priest who officiates at a person's burial determine whether the person goes to heaven or hell? (That is if they even exist) undecided

The White man came and told blacks to bow down. They did and never got up. The catholic church is filled with pedophiles and gay men molesting boys. Is God a Catholic? My dear, religion has caused brain rot in all of Nigeria. Leave that place if you ever get a chance.

This is funny because your situation can be related to what made England break away from the Catholic church to form the Church of England.

My advice to you is to leave the Catholic church and join Anglican OR form your own church with your husband (like King Henry VIII grin ) OR leave religion completely OR let the status quo remain. Do whichever you're more comfortable with.

They are threatening not to bury your parents ?

With all this you should realise that religion is one massive scam.

It's really a pity that you had to bring such a sensitive issue Down here for every dick and harry who has little or no knowledge of how things are done in the church to advise U on what they don't know about. I won't blame just the priest, I also blame u for not knowing what's obtainable cos if u do, by now u would have called his threats bluff. Ur parents are practising Catholics and the priest cannot deny them the last rites, his light and darkness comparison was uncalled for even if it was to dissuade u. I believe he's not the only priest in the diocese, there are others who would gladly do the needful. U saying they all think alike(Priests) is wrong, u are just bothering Urself for no reason.

My cousin got married to an Anglican man. The rev fr/ Catholic Church gave the family opipia/sanction or whatever they call it with several threats. Family responded by converting to Anglican Church. Hallelujah.

Your peoples interpretation of our doctrines and practices is worrisome. Look at what is happening in Ahiara. Im a catholic. My sisters married non catholics in the catholic church that are presently not practicing. Nobody is disturbing anybodys right to worship. My parents are not being threatened unnecessarily.

You did no wrong sis! Its even in the bible. Im just sad that teaching ur hubby about our doctrine or even converting him nw will be difficult with all hes seeing.Keep praying for your parents. Let another priest be aware of whats going on. Your aunty should remember she also has children. I detest hypocrites! God will definitely intervene. Dont loose faith!

Be wise people and stop peddling false ideas/ rumors about the catholic church.
The catholic church has canon laws that cover this type of situation. It is very possible for a Catholic to marry an Anglican or whatever church..even a muslim. grin
All you need are;
1. A permission for Mixed Marriage
i.e. permission for a Catholic to marry a baptized non-Catholic.
2. A dispensation from Form
i.e. allowing you to marry with the officiant being someone other than a Catholic priest. This form includes a permission from place which states that the wedding is not in a Catholic Church.

In order to get that first permission (Mixed Marriage) you will make two promises. Your future spouse does not make the same promises but needs to witness your promises; namely:

I will remain a Catholic and continue to practice my faith.
I will do all in my power to baptize and raise the children as Catholic.

The Catholic Church is very unique..
It has laws/rules pertaining every situation.
Remain blessed.
