Yes, if both parties truly love and respect one another.

the belief in the creator god is not necessary in buddhism. but, there are some same things about other religions that we can share with (example: love & charity).
***We don't want to say that Buddhism is a kind of Christianity and Christianity is a kind of Buddhism. A mango can not be an orange. I cannot accept the fact that a mango is an orange. They are two different things. Vive la difference. But when you look deeply into the mango and into the orange, you see that although they are different they are both fruits. If you analyze the mango and the orange deeply enough, you will see small elements are in both, like the sunshine, the clouds, the sugar, and the acid. If you spend time looking deeply enough, you will discover that the only difference between them lies in the degree, in the emphasis. At first you see the difference between the orange and the mango. But if you look a little deeper, you discover many things in common. In the orange you find acid and sugar which is in the mango too. Even two oranges taste different; one can be very sour and one can be very sweet.

relationships and religious beliefs both are man made! if u love someone inspite of everything and both people are determined enough to make the relationship work then different religious beliefs is no boundary. All a relationship requires is respect for each other and each other's beliefs, some breathing space and standing beside each other in thick and thin.Love is a above all religions and all religions preach love.

It depends on how divergent the beliefs are. A Catholic and Methodist can get along with few problems, a Baptist and a Jew may have some more challenges, a Born Again Fundamentalist and a Satanist there's no way.

Yes, if both are tolerant and enlightened. Unfortunately, Catholics are usually NOT trained to be much of either! (I was raised Catholic and went to parochial school). If you're a "true believer catholic", then you won't be able tolerate Buddhists.
Sadly, they WILL probably accept and tolerate you, despite your failings. Go for it and see what happens...or better yet, get the Catholic's mind away from that Papist claptrap and into the path of Enlightenment! Follow the way of the Buddha...and you will both be happier.

That would depend on the Catholic. Budhism accepts all beliefs but catholics are always wanting to convert people.
Oh yes and if you study the history of the catholic church it is possibly the most EVIL organisation there has ever been.

I think it can be done, but it would take to very flexable people, which some religeons do not allow for, Catholicism being one of them. The area that I think would bring the most trouble would be raising children, there's bound to be some issues there. But then again so many people claim religeons that they don't really practice, don't really go to church (except Easter and Christmas) I guess in the world we live in today, anything is possible.

True Buddhists and true Catholics can enjoy harmonious relationship. Because, the core in the teachings of both Buddha and Christ is love.

depends on the religions in question.
i htink its pretty obvious an Atheist and a Christian relationship would be the most turbulent. trust me, ive tried.
i really dont see how someone could have a bad relationship with a Buddhist. spiritual wise i mean.
depends on the people i suppose. and their level of belief/fanaticism.

Not if at least one of you is a true believer, meaning, holding that his is the one and only god-given truth, all other beliefs being wrong and evil (Al-Quaida style religion). If you are not that, you're not really religious (more of a social club religion). And if you are, well....may God have mercy on your poor soul.

Relationships between persons have nothing to do with religious beliefs.
