My Italian boyfriend’s family was actually Episcopalian. His dad was Catholic and his mom protestant so they decided to go ‘halfway.’

One of my sisters (who had become a Protestant) married a lapsed Catholic Italian. The only faithful Catholic in his family was his mother. They settled on a High Episcopal Church as a compromise. When he died (quite young - cancer) the funeral was held in the Episcopal Church. His aged mother was right at home seemingly unaware it was not "her" Church. (He did have last rights from a Catholic Priest though).
