CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yes, but you are supposed to ask permission. See: "What Are the Requirements for Marrying a Non-Catholic Christian? (Catholic Answers)."

An Eastern Orthodox Christian must get married in the EO Church and can only get married to a Christian who had a water Baptism, IIRC.
A Catholic must be married inside the Catholic Church, regardless of their partner's denomination, and agree to raise their children Catholic.
If not, they have to get a dispensation from the Bishop.

They would have to choose to be either Catholic or Orthodox. Not both.

A betrothed Catholic and Orthodox couple look like they're caught between a Big Rock and a Little Rock!

There are couples in our parish ( in America) who are Catholic and Orthodox for generations.

You yourself say that they could get a dispensation:
Ecumenical marriages are common enough. A dispensation of form is easier to obtain than a dispensation of cult (which is not to say that a dispensation of cult is particularly difficult to obtain in our day and age).
