Second meeting with catholic priest.. what will he ask?

A lot of Catholic Churches will interview you separately to make sure you are entering into the marriage of your own will. It's kind of creepy, but whatever. Frequently, part of a Catholic ceremony is something like "are you willing to welcome children freely into this union" or something and the couple says "we are". When we went to pre-Cana, they did a presentation on natural family planning. They didn't push it, though- just explained what it was and offered additional information for those who were interested. The priest might ask some basic questions to see if you're on the same page about children, which isn't that far off from non-religious pre-marital counseling.

Thank you very much for your response, it's making me feel a bit more at ease with the meeting coming up

The FOCCUS isn't too bad, just long lol! Ours was 168 questions! It basically asked questions like "my future spouse and I agree to raise our children Catholic", things of that nature. We did them separately, our priest said we do that to see if we're compatible in the sense of we've talked about our future together and that we want to lead a life in the Catholic faith.

We aren't Catholic, but we did go through a pre-marital counseling and questionnaire thing (Prepare/Enrich) that was very extensive. We had separate logins to the questionnaire, then our priest got our answers and got a report on where we were different or similar on many areas - Communication, Conflict Resolution, Partner Styles and Habits, Financial Management, Leisure Activities, Sexual Expectation, Family and Friends, Role Transitions, and Spiritual Beliefs. There were no "right" or "wrong" answers, but if you were vastly different on an area (money, for example) - it would be an area that the counselor would focus more efforts on, rather than an area where you were pretty much "on the same page".

Thank you all for your answers and help

@ Wanda: I'd be very hesitant about answering any questions of that nature on a computer.

Our second meeting with the priest were just some questions separetly and finalizing our ceremony but we did it after we met with the foccus couple. It isn't as bad as you think, I was really dreading it but it gives you a chance to be more open about things that you may be unsure of.

We've only met once with the priest, and I don't think another meeting is planned. But we also had to do pre-canna, FOCCUS, and meet with another couple to discuss the questionnaire. It shouldn't be too bad!

We're doing our Pre-Cana classes at the church nearest us, but it's not the church we're getting married in. We bumped into the priest who will be marrying us last time we went to that church and talked to him for a few minutes.

We did the FOCCUS test as one of the 6 classes we had to take. They specifically told us in the class that we wouldn't hear any results unless there was a problem. Then a deacon called us wanting to discuss results!!!! Freaked me out. Thought for sure we had somehow failed and they would say nope, not marrying you two. Thankfully that wasn't the case and we had a lovely conversation with him.

Doing FOCCUS soon so following this post.

From what I understand, the interviews stemmed from preventing immigrants remarrying in a new country with a family back home and shot gun weddings making sure it's love and not obligation, the drive for marriage.

Having gone through a lengthy 13 month annulment process, I see full circle why now.
