7. I, for one, wonder how the FRC feels about interfaith marriages

Say, for example, if someone were nominally Christian--let's call her Maggie--decided to marry someone who is a (sarcasm) heathen Hindu (/sarcasm)--let's call him Raman--should we declare that a "Fake Marriage"? And could two such people be married in a Catholic church by a Catholic priest? I'm just curious because my sister-in-law's parish priest would not marry my brother and her until my brother converted from Lutheran to Catholic. So if they couldn't be married in a church, how can they be "Real Married"?
