Catholics and marriage [Liz Mair]

I got married back in 1999, and as a result, haven't had any real reason to find out what the deal is if you're a Catholic and you want to marry a Non-Catholic in the years since-- hence my posting of what it appears was some erroneous information this morning.

I have received an email from a kindly Deacon by the name of Eric who assures me that "In the past, it was true that the non-Catholic party had to promise to raise any children resulting from the union as Catholics. That is no longer the case. Now the non-Catholic party signs a statement that he or she understands the Catholic party has been told of the desirability of raising the children as Catholics, and the statement indicates neither agreement nor disagreement on the non-Catholic's part."

So there you go.
