Hi, guys —
I am Catholic. My husband divorced me, (not
my choice), and he did not want our
children to be raised Catholic. They are
with me and I want to raise them Catholic.
Can they start now; they are 8 and 10
years old, respectively?

Hi, Carla —
Yes!
Children may become Catholic if
the custodial parent gives permission,
which should not be a problem,
as you are the custodial parent
and you are Catholic. If you were
married in the Church, then:
- he
would have had to promise not
to interfere with their being
raised Catholic, and
- you would
have promised to raise them Catholic.
I hope you are able to live out
your promise and your desire.
