Carolyn Homer, a Latter-day Saint attorney in Washington, D.C., expected her life to be the epitome of Mormonism’s teachings on marriage and family. She planned for a temple wedding and didn’t expect to work outside the home after children were born. But that marriage failed (“It was just a disaster”) and thrust her into a new spiritual journey, since “everything that was supposed to happen wasn’t happening.”
Now married to a Catholic and a relatively new mother, Carolyn and her husband, Brad, are charting a rich path in both faiths as they rear their young son as 66% Catholic and 33% Latter-day Saint.
In this week’s podcast, Homer talks about her experience with marriage, divorce and interfaith parenting — and how the couple negotiate complex theological issues like the Book of Mormon and the Latter-day Saint sacrament versus the Eucharist.
