To ask Her Majesty’s Government , further to the undertaking by Lord Wallace of Tankerness on 14 February (HL Deb, col 832), what was the outcome of their discussion with the Roman Catholic Church on mixed marriages.[HL1800]
This issue was discussed at length during the Succession to the Crown Act’s Report stage debate on 13 March, where there were a number of considered interventions. I stated both in that debate and during the course of the Third Reading debate, on 22 April 2013 (WA 1221), that I had met Monsignor Stock on behalf of Archbishop Nichols and the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales to discuss this matter. Monsignor Stock was clear that he was speaking on behalf of Archbishop Nichols as president of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales in setting out the following view:
“In the instance of mixed marriages the approach of the Catholic Church is pastoral. It will always look to provide guidance that supports and strengthens the unity and indissolubility of the marriage. In this context the Catholic Church expects Catholic spouses to sincerely undertake to do all that they can to raise children in the Catholic Church. Where it has not been possible for the child of a mixed marriage to be brought up as a Catholic, the Catholic parent does not fall subject to the censure of canon law.”
