Ne Temere

Ne Temere (literally meaning "not rashly" in Latin) was a decree (named for its opening words) of the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Council regulating the canon law of the Church about marriage for practising Roman Catholics.

Some claimed that the notable effect of the decree was the requirement for a non-Catholic spouse to agree to educate and raise his/her children as Roman Catholics, and that in some cases it was also expected for that spouse to convert to Catholicism before the marriage, to ensure compliance. The reality though is that the decree says nothing about these issues.
