Should a wife of permanent deacon candidate be a Catholic? Should a wife of permanent deacon candidate be a Catholic?

Can she belong to some schismatic (non-Catholic) church, like Eastern Orthodox, for instance?
According to the St. Joseph Foumdation posting on EWTN forums, there is no universal rule.

There is no requirement in the universal Church that a deacon's wife be baptized.

But like many other rules concerning the permenant diaconate, the family commitment to the deacons ordination process is up to the diocesan bishop.  Furthermore, a wife must be give her consent that her husband become a deacon.

A candidate for the permanent diaconate who is not married may be admitted to the diaconate only when he has completed at least his twenty-fifth year; if he is married, not until he has completed at least his thirty-fifth year, and then with the consent of his wife.
Can. 1031 §2

So, presumably, the wife is not going to be a dyed in the wool devil worshipper.
