I have married a nice Catholic girl and I'm Jewish. I was wondering
if any people in the same situation have some of the same problems
we have. Things we can't quite straighten out are:

	1) I can't stand religious statuary in the house and my wife
	   misses it especially around Christmas.

	2) Her mother is really nice (read that better than mine)
	   except she keeps trying to do things to help me that I
	   wish wouldn't. One time she asked (I do appreaciate that
	   part) to annoit me with holy oil to help me with my asma.

	3) Children: we have one and another on the way. Middle of
	   the road is a hard place to live.

	4) We go to temple fairly regularly but hardly ever to church
	   this may bother her but she doesn't mention it.

There are more but I can't think of them now. One last comment is that
I don't like the word Jewish, you can say Hebrew but you sometimes get a
debate about that being the language not a religion.
