Tips for living in a Protestant-Catholic marriage?
I recently returned to the Catholic Church after years in the reform of the churches. My "in the law the family (whom I love expensive - no rude comments please) do not approve of my church, nor perishoners some of my colleagues from my previous church. Any advice on how I can avoid getting into arguments?

I would suggest that faith does not bring much. If you are praying together, keep your prayers neutral name - things like that.
Of course, this does not prevent them from bringing up to you.
You are a convert. In my experience of your faith becomes a little better knowing that the average Catholic. Also in my experience, Christians who were not adopted either of Catholicism have misconceptions about Catholic beliefs, not sure why certain beliefs.
You must be capable of reporting these cases no information was false or immediately if it is to discuss theology with you.
When they do, I would suggest to correct them charitably andkindly to read what Catholics actually believe. Be very sure you maintain your correction too short. Well over a phrase that typically causes someone to go to "how to evangelize."
Catechesis is, of course, the explanation of almost all the Catholic beliefs and practices. However, it is quite technical. Therefore, something more informal, such as Catholicism for Dummies would be a good suggestion.
Also tell them you do not want to discuss theology with them. Be very strong in this regard. Explain that when the debate occurs more often ends in a split between members of the family instead of a conversion (as is, I suppose, their ultimate goal).
Probably not, as his refusal to discuss with them the religion, but be firm. That my mother had a couple of years to finally find out why I did not think it was a good idea to discuss some issues with it. They finally let slide, but hopefully in less time.
Yes, focus on being a believer who happens to worship with a group in a particular place, not that it is "Catholic" which is "Protestant" and is "Presbyterian", etc. These institutions are not of God, and only lead to division. If you seek God, He will strip away the things of man the things of your flesh, and the Holy Spirit will guide you what to include in their worship life, and what to throw away. Jesus rebuked the small difference between believers and always on the focus back to the worship of God as our number one priority, and to love our neighbor as our second priority. How can we demonstrate Christian love if our practices and discussions focus on how they differ, rather than unity of the faith? When I am in general duties, avoid saying what I am of the church, but simply present myself as a "believer." Removes imagined / perspective of the barriers and form a bond of a word.

First: Do not induce any religious discussions with its statutes.
Second, do not bite any bait that bad laws can lead to a "debate" themselves.
The conclusion is that not an opportunity to convince his parents-in-law of anything, rather than having the opportunity to convince you of anything.
You know it. You are in-laws know this. So why bother discussing religion at all?
It is a matter of both sides to learn to live with (tolerate) each other.
Therefore, its laws are not Catholic? That's how I read your question. But you do not marry the whole family, only one member and that person is your spouse, not the whole family. Just go your way, and with her husband and her in-laws have no recourse at all.
The Roman Catholic Church was the first Christian church.
If you think that is wrong or not, can not deny that history.
And the Catholic Church was the church that put the Bible together.
280 B.C. 250 B.C. The compilation of the Septuagint (Old Testament)
393 AD The Council of Hippo met the writings of the New Testament.
397 Council of Carthage ADThe put what we know as the Bible together.
419 AD The second Council of Carthage considered canon in the Bible and the Pope sent for confirmation.
Until the Protestant Reformation in the 1500s the church was the only Catholic church.
There is only one Roman Catholic church. 33.00 and the names of all Protestant churches claim to have the truth and teaching the things they think is correct.
The Catholic Church has taught the same theology (perhaps change the level, and how they go about teaching) to about 2000 years.
You just chose to return to the church that was the first Christian church (and the true church of Jesus Christ himself founded), and has more tradition and the teaching.
And just leave it at that.

You should never discuss religion. My advice would be to learn as much as possible about the Church for what they are capable of defending their faith when necessary. Take notes and store them in your Bible and your Bible with you at all times. But when the defense of their faith, be polite and courteous, always stay calm. I hope this helps. I wish him well and welcome home.
God bless,

Most converts were converted by the presence of the Holy Eucharist. Invitation to Mass only with some time at least have an idea of what goes on there. You will not believe the things they are taught about the Catholic protesters and clashes when they pray the Mass
If they all believe in God and love him and know he loves you, and then after that the details should be regarded as petty. God unites, not divides, that is what we do denominations. That is why we trust and worship God, not religion.
Education is the key to successful ones.
In every modern civilized countries with an efficient public school system, thanks to the religious delusions and superstitions are quietly disappearing and that is the way to go.
remain silent when raising religious issues. u listen to like the attention, and thank them when its all over. parents in-law always see themselves as superior or that they know better than u guys. in order not to discuss, not to answer back, only silence. all d best
Take a fucking gun and wave periodically. That will keep everyone on the straight and narrow … until someone brings a gun bigger.
The main aspect of Christianity involves a strong spiritual relationship with God. If God is in the middle of their relationship after all that matters. The creation of each other through Christ.
Do not talk about religion with these people. I wonder why Christians can not get along with each other.
have a good sense of humor, and focus on Jesus, and avoid talking about the differences without having made a long prayer in the first place.
BTW
Welcome Home:)
Focusing on the amount of their religions have in common rather than the little that divides them …
Do not discuss theology, and make it clear that respect for their beliefs and ask them to do the same for yours.
Raise your children the golden rule is not a good person and that's all I can do.
Do not talk. Although seriously, good luck with that.
Do not you believe in the Lord? that's all that matters.
