If marriage is in your future, certainly you should at least start talking about it. Questions like which religion would your children follow, which church would your family attend should be addressed. But is religion really an important part of your life? What about your family, would they object to your union? Sometime in relationships love isn't enough, and those unspoken questions may strain it if either of you are unable to communicate about it.

Catholic and Baptist have different traditions but are not incompatible at all. They are both Christian religions.
I don't think there is a cause to end your relationship since you love each other.
I think it would be wonderful to speak with a Priest or Minister, together and express your views and fears.
I am Secretary to a Greek Orthodox Priest and when couples of two religions come wanting to marry, his wise counsel is that it doesn't matter which church they decide to go with, but they are to choose one and attend together regularly. He firmly believes attending the same one will bind the marriage/relationship.
Best Wishes to you.

Well that depends on exactly how much you value your religions. If you're both living together, outside of marriage, which I don't think the catholic religion condones, and I'm sure the baptist church does not condone, then it may not be that important to either of you. If you're making it work living together outside of marriage, then it doesn't really seem like either faith is likely to get in the way of the other...

I think you guys should stop talking about religion and take turns praying at the table...do you guys have christmas at the same time still or has that gone too? Now is this God's relationship or yours? I think two christians are trying to be most right...very stick'e situation, who is more blameless? Does the fight happen before SEX? Because sometimes make up sex is just that good, no really...then the whole cuddle on the couch thing, ahh to be two love birds snuggling on the couch. Im GONNA GO PICK A FIGHT RIGHT NOW scuze me

Well you only think you are Catholic and Baptist. You could not live together if your were real. But, anyway-if either of you ever think you may get religious seriously-you need to work that out now-it will be a major life wreck later.

If you love your boyfriend you shouldnt care about what religion he is! If you honestly love him but you choose your religion over someone standing in front of you wanting to give you love! You are a very silly girl!
This is why religion sucks! Your putting your faith before what you really want! That is not the way to live your life! YOU make your own choices! Only YOU have the right to make your own decisions, dont make them based on a religion!

You guys are just getting hammered with bad doctrine if you ask me. If I measure you up against this summary - (1) That God is one and (2) there is a conjunction of charity and faith - then the Catholics would teach charity and faith but not necessarily God is one. The Baptists would teach neither charity and faith or that God is one.

Religion shouldn't come between your relationship. Your both worshiping the same God.
Just accept each others religion, and move on with your life.

If you are cohabitating, obviously you arne't that serious in your beliefs, or you'd understand that is a sin.
in marriage the woman normally takes on the man's beliefs.
Either way, regardless of which belief you choose...you will still need to move out in order for a true bible believing preacher to marry you .

It sounds like you WANT to make your religion a problem in your relationship.
That is really f*cking sad!
If love is less important to you then a figment of your imagination, then I would say leave him, you do him a great disservice wasting his time and compassion.
