Catholics, a new and

ruling Issued today by th cojt
gregatlon ot the sacred office de

The ruling tightening mixed
marriage restrictions was Issued
because of a belief that parties
to such marriages often have dis
regarded promises that the chil
dren should be reared at Cath
olics. The congregation decided that
henceforth those who obtain the
dispensation of tha church (or
mixed marriage must take those
promisee seriously and that the
church no longer will accept the
plea that the laws of the coun
tries where such persons reside
prevent proper Catholic education
ol the children.
