Hey all -
So we are going to ask my grandfather to marry us next time we see him in March. We haven't spoken to him about it yet, we wanted to do it in person. I was telling my mom and great-grandma about how we were planning to ask him. My great-grandma brought up that my grandpa was Catholic and she wasn't sure that he could be ordained and marry a non-catholic couple (we are atheist). My grandpa isn't ordained yet but we were going to ask if he would be ordained.
I was wondering if this was true or if anyone else has heard anything like this? I looked it up and it said that a Catholic person could not marry a non-catholic couple without permission from his church.
Honestly, I am so confused. So any advice would be helpful.
