I am not a Catholic but an Orthodox Christian. The Church does not allow a Christian to marry a non-Christian. If they do, they lose their membership in the Body of Christ (the Church). The same is true for Catholics. What is not good, is for a non-Christian to convert to Christianity just to be able to marry a Christian. It is usually a false conversion. The problem is, a Christian who lets himself or herself decide to marry a Muslim is probably not a real Christian either, even if he or she has church membership. Being a member of a church does not make one a Christian. To believe in and trust Jesus Christ is an internal and non-legalistic action of your free will. Anything else that pretends to be Christian is just magic.
If a man is really a follower of Jesus and wants to marry a Muslim woman, and if she agrees to convert, she has to be in total obedience to her husband and let him teach her and show her Jesus, to strengthen her faith. He himself must also be in obedience to his church, and obey what his church teaches and practices. If he is a unconnected or unfellowshiped Christian, then he is already in trouble, because a man must be involved in the local church to be fully a Christian. If he is flying solo with his Christianity, he cannot expect his wife to obey him, since he is not obeying the command of Christ to be in the church. But if he is a real Christian, and is an active member of a local church, then his wife can convert from Islam to Christ, as long as she agrees to obey her husband and learn about Jesus with him and from him. Otherwise, it won't work.
As for a Muslim man converting to Christianity to marry a Christian woman, impossible. Why? Because the woman has to obey the man, not the other way round, both in Islam and in Christianity. How can he be under his wife's authority and learn from her about Christ? If he wants to marry a Christian woman, he has to first become a Christian, and then after some time of preparation and practice of his faith, so he can be tested, then he can take a Christian wife. This is how it is for the Church.
If a man and woman marry outside the Christian church, and are of different religious origins, they are looking for trouble. But to convert just in order to marry is both dishonest and dangerous.
Yes, but they should be very aware of the difficulties some very great that could arise. Like that requirement that the Catholic parent Baptize and raise any children in the Catholic Faith. That the practice of the Catholic faith by the Catholic party cannot be interfered with, the Marriage and moral laws of the Church.

Inter-faith marriages happens all the time. And do present some challenges. Usually, one of the spouse end up converting to the other partner's religion.

At age 25, Muhammad wed his wealthy employer, the 40-year-old merchant Khadijah bint Khuwaylid . According to history Khadijah bint Khuwaylid was Christian (Catholic Nun) at her marriage. She had a cousin named Waraqah who was an expert on Judeo Christian religious texts. Waraqa is one of the four men who left the pagan faith of Mecca in search for the Hanifite roots ( the religion of Abraham) and returned as a Christian. Even he was claimed to be the source of the Qur'ân.

i'm a born-baked-Muslim that can't go on research for stuffs like you. saying fallacies about Islamic History is not knew to us in this Forum but i'm sure you can't gain any Muslim's mind. worsestill, stick to your orientalist books.
In our reliable refrences, Khadija was never in any religion, neither was she a nun too. she was a widow, while Waraqa was a pious-christian not Judeo christian; he sticked to the teachings of Injiil (Bible, which was still valid then), he even told Prophet Muhammad that he will be evicted by his people when He starts delivering The Message and promised to have faith in him and also help him if he was alive when the exiling come to take place..

...born-baked muslim indeed... self contradiction here is...yourself had told me in this forum that no one is born without a religion... and...what makes you think that all you know about your religion is not based on fallacy... ...what makes you think that your early Islamic readers and transmitters did not cover up the story to uphold her as "mother of believers" ...Thank God for the Internet...nothing about Islam is hidden anymore... ...all can see the fallacy, contradictions, variant versions of The Koran, Missing Verses, Verses Added...and so on

It seems to me that the so-called chik0000000000000001 sunk in the deep water of confusion and deceit. He rely on what the orientalists baked to deceive the shallow minded people like him. It is not good for one to rely only on what those who want to see to the destruction of Islam prepared. Half-baked.
It also seemed that he need to know about the woman KHADIJAH.
