Catholic marriage customs in 1700s & 1800s
Hello,
I have a question about marriage customs and practice for and in relation to Catholics in the 1800s.How strongly were Catholics encouraged to marry within their own religion in the late 1700s and early and mid 1800s, and how strongly were non-Catholics discouraged from marrying Catholics during that time?Also, were their stronger expectations imposed on one gender more than the other? If it makes a difference in the answer, I'm specifically looking at Maryland - Kentucky Catholics.
Thanks.
Jeanne
