Interfaith relationships are those relationships that exist between a man and woman who do not share the same religious beliefs. ... Either way, interfaith relationships are complicated in themselves, so when they become interfaith marriages, raising children presents more challenges than there would be in a single-religion household.
The Catholic Church recognizes interfaith, or mixed marriages, a marriage between a Catholic and a baptized non-Catholic, and a disparity of cult, in which at Catholic marries a non-baptized person (Catechism of the Catholic Church 1633). ...
It used to be that interfaith marriages were quite uncommon. ... But as time has progressed, interfaith marriages have become more and more common. ... “For interfaith couples, weddings mark the beginning of journeys in finding out more about themselves, their faiths, and ways to live in families and a world often intolerant of such marriages” (Martini). ...
Before beginning the journey of an interfaith marriage, the couple must first ask themselves if they are secure enough in their faith to be able to maintain it despite having differing beliefs from his or her spouse. ... While the diversity brought about by interfaith relationships is positive, it also limits one in his or her being able to practice religion.
As if raising children is not hard enough, raising children in an interfaith marriage can make the task twice as difficult.
