The GP is either misinformed or ... (lets hope it's the former). > (I am somewhat confused as to why a christian catholic court won't celebrate an interfaith marriage in Israel, since they are allowed by the church, and there are even specific protocols for jewish/catholic and muslim/catholic marriages, AFAIK) The problem is that usually the audience for the mixed marriages are non-halachic Jews, not Christians or Muslims, nor they see themselves as half-Christians. Another reason is that the Christian churches don't want to intervene into affair of the Jews, even non-halachic ones. The situation in Israel is nothing comparing to what happens in Lebanon [1]. People there converting for various reasons: from divorce, inheritance to emigration to the Gulf countries! In a phone interview with Archbishop George Saliba from the Syriac Orthdox Church, he said that they stopped converting other Christian sects into their own sect about 3 years ago, stating that “each person should solve his own problems in his own church”. -- [1] Converting One’s Religion in Lebanon https://medium.com/@zubaidajamal/converting-ones-religion-in-lebanon-f92c8c314a8a https://medium.com/@zubaidajamal/converting-ones-religion-in...
