Interfaith Marriage and Religious Commitment among Catholics.
Petersen, Larry R.
Journal of Marriage and the Family, v48 n4 p725-35 Nov 1986
Examined assertion that interfaith marriages have secularizing effect on family members. Assessed effects of respondent's and his/her parents' type of religious marriage on 11 measures of religious commitment. Catholics married to non-Catholics scored lower on attending mass and receiving communion than Catholics in homogamous marriages, but most religiosity measures were unrelated to respondent's and parents' marital type.
