Things are just never simple, are they?
I shouldn't have asked. I should have just let things be.
My TA for Religion seems like the sort of guy I want to be - knowlegable about his faith and willing to talk about it. I respect that, alot. So, of course, the Stupid side of me asked what he knew about Catholic-Protestant marriages. Yeah, we see where that's going. According to him, it's a 'sacramental' marriage as opposed to a 'natural' marriage, usually needs a dispensation. The Catholic must promise to raise the children Catholic to the best of their ability and the Protestant is made aware of the promise. The marriage can't takr place in the context of a mass because the protestant can't recieve the Eucharist (due to the fact that they don't believe it's truely Christ prersent in the same way we do).
Everything is still valid.
So, yeah, this would almost seem to dig up an old conflict in me, and it does, but not the one you'd think. Even with all this being said, I don't think she'd take me back. She doesn't need me. It's over. I'm just a fool who, try as he might, can't move on.
