Link to Ask the Priest:  Question:  Many people take 2 Cor. 6: 14 as a rule for not permitting Christians to marry non-Christians, or even for Catholics to marry non-Catholic Christians. Canon law permits the bishop to grant permission for such marriages. Why are these permissions or dispensations justifiable?  Would a pregnancy be such a reason for dispensation?
