"Could a true Catholic marry a Protestant?
There is no safety possible for a married pair unless they have perfect conformity in the matter of religious opinions.

I, who come from the Comtat, of a family which counts a pope among its ancestors--for our arms are: gules, a key argent, with supporters, a monk holding a church, and a pilgrim with a staff, or, and the motto, 'I open, I shut'-- I am, of course, intensely dogmatic on such points.

But in these days, thanks to our modern system of education, it does not seem to me strange that religion should be called into question.

I myself would never marry a Protestant, had she millions, even if I loved her distractedly.

Faith is a thing that cannot be tampered with.
