MARK WAHLBERG - CATHOLIC WAHLBERG COMFORTABLE WITH OUT-OF-WEDLOCK RELATIONSHIP

Film star MARK WAHLBERG has shrugged off criticism he fathered children with girlfriend RHEA DURHAM outside wedlock, despite being a devout Catholic. THE DEPARTED star, who has two children with the former model, says he is comfortable with the choices he has made and is currently taking the steps to wed in line with the church's matrimonial requirements. Wahlberg, 35, says, "No sin is worse than the other and you have to make your own choices and live with them, and I can live with this. "Rhea is a wonderful mother and a wonderful person and we're continuing to build our relationship. She was never baptised until recently so she's going through all the proper steps so we can be married in a holy Catholic union and the whole deal. "It's a growing process and we're trying to grow together."
