at the risk of starting a religious war, Catholics literally think Protestants wont go to heaven, so why would you expect Protestants to show Catholics any respect?

Find a woman not burdened by religion.

Ha, no they don't. That may be what a few zealots teach but 99% of Catholics don't believe anything like that. I went to Catholic school for a majority of my schooling and that was never taught. Catholics don't teach about the negatives of other Christian religions, that's just ignorant.

Nah man. I married a Catholic, and the priest pretty much told me my children would be Catholic. I'm Baptist.
They go to mass, I go to the fishing. Works out pretty good.

Don't get me wrong, the Catholic Church has some bad traditions and screwed logic sometimes (a large reason I am a non practicing Catholic) but don't there is no need to lie.

I go to church or mass or prayer or whatever a Catholic is supposed to call the Sunday service about 4 times a year but I did go to Catholic school most of my life. I had to look that term up.
Just like any religion, the zealots are a lot smaller portion of the population than anyone cares to admit.

Yeah, I was raised Catholic and was always told that Christians in general go to heaven. Never once in my Catholic upbringing was I told anything negative about other Christian denominations.
However, when my parents forced us to switch over to this huge Baptist church, the first thing I was taught was negative stuff about Catholics. I was only 11 years old and outright refused to participate/get baptized/etc. even though the rest of my family did.
In fact, the concept of being "saved" and going to heaven vs. hell was never really brought up in Catholic school/church. It was EVERYWHERE in Baptist church.

I'd change that to denomination, not religion.
Im sure theres a big difference between practicing Muslim and Christians.
My wife and I are in the same boat. I was raised methodist and she catholic. While she was a member of the church , they only went on holidays for the most part. I pretty much went to church every other week.
I think you have to be a pretty easy going person, and figure out what works for you. Both parties need to recognize the differences and understand how to avoid a conflict between each other. That could be attending both churches, choosing a new church, etc.
Right now, we really don't attend either on a regular basis. Both of our home churches denied our child entry for daycare. I know that they expect attendance and donations and such, but that can be complicated with an infant. The whole application and approval process left me with a bad opinion of places that I have respected my whole life (her church and my church). Everything has become very political, which seems to be the case across most churches in the area. At both churches, there have been acceptances for families with far greater and far less participation that our family has had.
To be honest, I'd say this whole process over the past year or two has turned me off to churches in general. It would be nice to find a place that we both liked that wasn't like that and provided a traditional service, good minister/priest, young families, etc. Maybe we need to look harder, but it seems like an uphill battle that neither of us are very interested in pursuing at this time.

Me- Catholic - Goes to church every Sunday
Wife - Baptist - Doesn't ever go to church
We never talk about religion
Both agree kids will go to Catholic church since I am the only one who goes to church and when they grow up, they can decide what religion they want to be

Catholic school as in school to become a Catholic or Catholic school as in a private school that happened to be Catholic?
Posted on 5/24/17 at 10:24 am to Displaced
not lying, this is what every Catholic I know has told me...
Posted on 5/24/17 at 10:24 am to LouisianaLady
Yep. I moved from the largely Catholic south Louisiana to the Bible belt southern Baptist TN.
There were so many friendly Baptists up here willing to tell me the falsities of Catholicism (they largely had no idea what they were talking about and then told me I was wrong if I tried to correct them) and how I was going to hell if I didn't "accept Jesus"

What kind of shake are you referencing? My wife was Methodist and I was Catholic when we met. We opted to go the Catholic route because of the structure it provides. I attended a lot of nondenominational and Protestant events (summer camps, bible studies, etc) with friends growing up, but noticed that those churches were very hit or miss. The structure of the Catholic Church is what got me to stay, though honestly some parishes feel like a funeral on continuous cruise control. I still attend other denominations events, but we do attend mass as our main form of worship service. A blend is what we have found to be best.
We also travel a lot to see family and like the fact that we can attend mass anywhere we happen to be, and it is the same mass core that is given that day as our home parish.
Good luck with it all though. That discussion can always get interesting, and a little heated, but be prepared to compromise if you want it to work.

Catholic schools are on the same property as a Catholic church where they attend mass weekly. They also take religion classes at every single grade level that you have to make a C or higher in to graduate. It's a little more than "happening" to call itself Catholic.
The teachings in Catholic school are regarded as Catholic teachings.Posted on 5/24/17 at 10:26 am to TigerRob20
in other words, you want a church that is liberal.
there are plenty, at least where I live
