Summary/Abstract: „Mixta religio” in matrimonial canon law of the Roman Catholic Church. Regarding the Roman Catholic Church, by researching the sacramental- matrimonial legislation (Sacramentum matrimonies) since 1967 up to this very day, we may state that the Roman Catholic Church has changed its attitude towards mixed marriages, including towards those with orthodox, making a distinction between the marriage of a catholic with one baptised person and on those with a not baptised person, according to the new canonical Code in 1983. Contrary to the canonical Code in 1917 and the frame law Motu Proprio Matrimonia mixta, the canonical Code in 1983 has abolished the prohibitive impediment which interdicted the celebration of the marriage of the catholic with those baptised by another Christian confession, thus allowing a marriage in certain conditions, only with the competent ecclesiastical authority’s permission (can. 1124).
