The painful reality of dual-religion marriages is that the children often come to believe in nothing. The Hindu religion has dozens of festivals to celebrate their beliefs, and Catholicism has about 16 formal celebrations for the very devout and 3 for the faithful but less devout (Lent, Easter and Christmas). Children of such marriages can certainly become religious but they must make a choice, by necessity. The psychological stress of choosing between a mother’s religion and a father’s religion, which must feel like choosing between a mother and a father, often leaves the children reluctant to choose at all, and both are lost.
The result of the Communist decomposition of the family.
Paul says that the father is the head of the (wife) family just as Christ is the head of the church.
It is the father’s vocation to instill moral values in the children and to “train them up in the way that they should go”.
