But we intend to get marry soon I did not intend to keep to him for long he attend church with me but I never told him that I am a Catholic.

Yes a Catholic and a non Catholic can get married. I am getting married next month and that is our situation. My fiance is Catholic and I am not. The only thing that we had to do was go to a "Marriage Seminar" for 8 hours, and get a certificate. Then we had to attend one on one classes with the priest once a month. It was very comfortable. He does not have to worrry about the Catholic Church preasuring him to join the Church. The only thing that they ask, is that you sign a piece of paper stating that your kids will be baptised Catholic.
My mothers family is not Catholic and my fathers side is, but they divorced and we were raised Christians. I had a tough time b/c my mothers side of the family is very ANTI-Catholic.
You just have to do what makes you and him happy. Its your wedding, you two are the ones getting married. Do what you want.

Difference of religion between the spouses does not constitute an obstacle for marriage.
According to the law in force in the Catholic Church, a mixed marriage needs for liceity the express permission of ecclesiastical authority. In case of disparity of cult an express dispensation from this impediment is required for the validity of the marriage. This permission or dispensation presupposes that both parties know and do not exclude the essential ends and properties of marriage; and furthermore that the Catholic party confirms the obligations, which have been make known to the non-Catholic party, of preserving his or her own faith and ensuring the baptism and education of the children in the Catholic Church.

A marriage has to be based on trust and common beliefs. You can marry someone who is not catholic, you just have to make sure that the two of you are on the same page about your beliefs and in the future the way you want to raise your children. You could get married and end up fighting about your beliefs so much you end up divorced. My husband isn't a catholic but I am, we agreed on a church and a belief structure before we tied the knot...it helps to talk about what you want religion wise before jumping into marriage.

yes a catholic and non-catholic can get married. However, the marriage will not be sanctioned by the catholic church. The first thing you must do is tell him. If you cannot talk to him about this, then you have no business getting married. If your love for each other is strong, then the difference in religion will not matter.

Yes.
The Catholic Church allows marriage between Catholics and non-Catholics.
Because the Church recognizes the tremendous challenge that the interfaith couple will face, they may have to get permission from the bishop.
With love in Christ.

you already asked this and my answer is still the same. I'm not sure why you didn't tell him sooner, thats a strange secret to keep, but it will affect you as you grow as a family, for example what religion will your children be. That is something that should be disgussed before you are married, he might want them raised in his religion as you do in yours. But yes a Catholic can marry a non-catholic

Yes, you can. Talk to your pastor and meet the few requirements. The two big requirements are that the marriage must be at least blessed by the priest and any children must be raised catholic.

Yes. Can get dispensation from church. Talk to your priest. I am RC, my husband is Buddhist. Our children are RCs. He goes to attend mass every Sunday willingly now. Just pray for your fiance's Mom. She'll come around eventually.

Different faith beliefs can cause many problems. It obviously is a big deal to you or you would not be asking the question. The bible says that you are to become one flesh, and a house divided will fall. Discuss this with him, because dishonesty should not carry into a marriage. My wife, and I grew up in two different denominations, no we go to a non-denominational church. If faith is important, then the bible will be your instructional manual.
