[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a practicing Catholic, and I am raising my three kids Catholic.  My husband is an atheist.

I'm confused why you need him to go to mass with you on Christmas or with you to church on Sundays.  My husband has gone to church for family weddings, and our kids baptisms, and I don't expect him to go to anything other than that sort of thing.

You are absolutely able to sign yourself and your children up as parishioners even if he isn't there too. It sounds like you are disappointed that he doesn;t believe and want to change him. [/quote]

This is my situation as well but my DH is Jewish.

OP, if your DH is Jewish that is doubly difficult because he is likely extremely uncomfortable in a Christian religious context.  The fact that he is ok with you going ahead speaks volumes about him supporting you in your choice - but to go farther and try to MAKE him, an adult, get on board is asking way too much on your part.

Practice your religion and raise your kids in it, with DH's (passive) support.  I think that should be enough.[/quote]
