Of course an Italian would be Catholic - would that have been a reason to not want a family member marrying one?
Father in law and his siblings were brought up Methodist. Mother in law was brought up Catholic but didn’t follow it once she was an adult. OH wasn’t brought up with any religion really other than baptism.
