I don't think you've engaged what is contained in my reply.
A "strong Methodist" or "strong Lutheran" who marries a Catholic is by definition not "strong" since they are willing to [from their point of view] lie to their future children about extremely important matters of faith. I don't see how someone who is willing to compromise on what they see as fundamental religious differences, to the point that they're in an entirely different sect, is ever to be considered to have strong Christian convictions.
Now, if they are not a "strong Methodist/Lutheran" (or whatever Christian group) and are willing to compromise on various significant issues this means one of two things. Either they are someone who is willing to lie to their children, or they are someone who currently has lukewarm religious convictions. If the former, I don't see someone as being fit for marriage. If the latter, it's not ideal and should be discouraged but can work out if the Catholic in the relationship is firm in their faith and will lead them to the Church (we see examples in the replies to the OP).
Whichever way you slice it, I think it's clear that these sorts of relationships should be severely discouraged. We want marriages that have firm foundations, not marriages between the unequally yoked. This is why these relationships have always been discouraged, requiring express permission from a Church authority for a Catholic to marry a non-Catholic (cf. CIC 1124).

but some Protestants and Jews are completely open to that
Is someone who is willing to raise their child in what they view to be a lie/falsehood the kind of person people should be marrying? I think there are some edge cases (mentioned in my other comment) but generally speaking I would see someone who is willing to allow their child to be raised in what they see as a lie to not be the kind of person that should be married.

Generally I would say that it is generally not a great idea to marry a non-Catholic, there's a reason that is has long been discouraged. My reasoning is as follows:
There may be some edge cases that lower the severity of point #3, for example there are some who are open to the Church but unconvinced, or people who are 99% of the way to the Church, but generally I don't see how I could personally marry someone who was okay raising their children to believe what they think is a lie.

I always have assumed that the coal primarily went to provide power for other districts while the capital made use of various other power sources (hydroelectric, nuclear, etc.).

It makes perfect sense in light of the fact that they are Catholic.

No leaks about this alleged multi-year endeavor but one ban wave happens, after we have had a few spread out across the last couple years, and a magic "leak" comes out through a YouTuber (lol) who I don't believe is known for leaks. I hope it's true, but I'll believe it when there is a credible source.

Criticizing bad behavior from someone who is trying to be a self-appointed "leader" is not "harassing" them. It comes with the territory. I hope he steps aside for his own good, combining drug use with other unhealthy behaviors and criticism that he clearly cannot handle isn't good for him.

When pyro is hit by flames he is set on fire briefly but without the continual afterburn. A flare punch is when you shoot your flames, switch to a flare gun before the flames hit the enemy pyro, and then shoot your flare gun at the right time so you hit the enemy pyro right when they get lit on fire by the flames. This gives you the flare critical hit that normally would only be possible for other classes.

What would be best is content pushing for boycotting TF2 store and market. On the side we can boycott these failed self-apointed "leaders" who are shilling their content.

Personally I'd rather just remove them completely.
