I think it depends what you mean by raise the children in both faiths. Are they going to attend Sunday school? If so where? I attend a rather reform congretation and we do have one family that takes the kids to services Friday night and also church on Sunday. But how do you handle the fact that Jesus is central to the Catholic faith and Jews are still waiting for the messiah?

My parents were both rather non-practicing, my mom Jewish, father an atheist raised Episcopalian. We celebrated Chanukah, Christman, Passover and sometimes attended High Holiday services with friends or grandparents. But I always thought I was Jewish.

I think that what you want can be done but you will need to think a great deal about it ahead of time. Good luck.
