The reason I ask is because I am currently in a relationship where it has become a big deal. I converted to Catholicism 2 years ago. I guess I could be labeled as a “devout” Catholic at this point.
I attend my girlfriend’s non denom church and do sometimes enjoy the sermons. I’m not just there to check it off the list. However, mass each Sunday is a must for me, and I will only take communion at the Catholic Church. These two things have become an issue
So your girlfriend is mad that you go to church to support her but also go to your own church? Does she want you to stop going to you mass and only go the non denominational?

was raised catholic and married a southern baptist...for the most part its fine as I havent gone to mass in years but do keep my belifs and shes the same way. There are things we don't see eye to eye on... like taking the bible literally and shite like the rapture, but yea it works fine. With our son we integrate parts of both pretty seamlessly. Along time ago we discussed it and realized at the end of the we both recognize Jesus as the savior and the theology he preached and that's what counts to us

I was raised Catholic and my wife Baptist. Still going strong 11 years later

There are some distinct belief differences that should be discussed before if y'all marry.
I know these marriages happen all the time in Louisiana especially, but someone once told me on the topic of mixing Roman Catholics with non-Roman Catholics; you got to choose one or the other and both commit to it.

So you're admitting one of these faiths doesn't believe in God or our Savior, The Christ?
If not, both are in the same league, just on different teams? Unity vs. Division. Winning recipe for success.

This really all comes down to the other areas. If she is a home run in all the other areas, this is easy to overcome. If she's not, well then this becomes a lynchpin to many more issues

If your contemplating getting married y'all will need to work this out before the engagement.

No. Marriage is tough enough. Adding a disagreement on religion would make it that much tougher.
Don't Catholics require you to sign something that you will raise your kids in the Catholic church?

Does your girlfriend attend Mass with you?

You’re going to have to come off of this. God doesn’t care about this and you shouldn’t care about what some nerds in Italy say.

It would be better to commit your marriage to God.
Pastors/Priests/Clergy can be disappointing.

A practicing Catholic should "come off" the idea of going to Mass each Sunday and taking communion?

And that’s what the Irish call a mixed marriage.

I am married with kids and my wife and I and kids go to both catholic mass and an Assemblies of God church. We go to both when we feel like it. Our kids are all baptized in the catholic church and getting first communion. It’s not a big deal to go to both. Anyone who doesn’t agree with it, I truly don’t care. It works for us.

Wife and I did this; married 27 years now.
She was Catholic and I wasn't. We had good discussions before marriage and then afterwards we went to both for little while, studied each other's beliefs etc.
We've been going to a protestant church together for 25 years.

I guess you are right. I was just going off my anecdotal experience. My father converted to Catholicism and I married a catholic so it’s never been an issue with me personally.
It’s fine if one of the spouses is okay with swapping religions, or at least practicing the other religion, but if you’re trying to practice both at the same time there will be conflicts with teachings between religions.

I’m a Baptist married to a catholic, just like my parents. I’ve been married 40 years and they were married 64 before Dad died. I don’t know if marriage to a Muslim would’ve worked, but being married to a different Christian religion was never an issue.

I'm a protestant that married a Catholic. I'm not a very religious person so it's not an issue.
