You share the truth of the Christian faith in the way you live your life. When she sees the way in which you live then you plant Catholic seeds in her heart!

Hinduism is a non-Christian religion, but I don’t think smearing it with the “pagan” label is very useful.

Non-Christian or Pagen… What’s the difference?

“Paganism, in the broadest sense includes all religions other than the true one revealed by God, and, in a narrower sense, all except Christianity, Judaism, and Mohammedanism. The term is also used as the equivalent of Polytheism.”

The term “Pagan” is considered derogatory, much like “holy roller” is for our Pentecostal friends or “Romanist” is for Catholics. They may well understand what you’re saying, but they might think you are intentionally being disrespectful.
 
They quite literally have multiple god’s. What else would you call it?
 
I’ve read about it. They have 3 spirits or gods or whatever. But they believe that those 3 spirits make up one eternal God. They believe in Jesus and they believe in God.
 
They aren’t Christian but they believe in God. They believe that God is Jesus Christ.
 
I am almost 16. But she and I really do love each other. We have had times where we have just not talked to one another. I talked to some friends, and they said the same thing. But it worked out, it has continued to work out.

Not sure how that’s possible when Hinduism pre-dates Christianity by several hundred years.

"

Thirty-three divinities are mentioned in other ancient texts, such as the Yajurveda,[114] however, there is no fixed “number of deities” in Hinduism any more than a standard representation of “deity”.[115] There is, however, a popular perception stating that there are 33 million(or “33 million”) deities in Hinduism.[116] Most, by far, are goddesses, state Foulston and Abbott, suggesting “how important and popular goddesses are” in Hindu culture.[115] No one has a list of the 33 category goddesses and gods, but scholars state all deities are typically viewed in Hinduism as “emanations or manifestation of genderless principle called Brahman, representing the many facets of Ultimate Reality”.[115][116][117]

This concept of Brahman is not the same as the monotheistic separate God found in Abrahamic religions, where God is considered, states Brodd, as “creator of the world, above and independent of human existence”, while in Hinduism “God, the universe, human beings and all else is essentially one thing” and everything is connected oneness, the same god is in every human being as Atman, the eternal Self.[117][118]"

They also have very un-Christian understanding of God. They aren’t the same. They aren’t even related.

I believe what we’re seeing here is how Catholicism, Hinduism, and Culture are getting blended together and people aren’t sorting it out properly.
 
If you are 16, you should discuss this with your parents. They know you a lot better than some random folks on the internet.

You have at least 10 years before you should start thinking about marriage unless your parents tell you differently. Have fun, play a sport and get good grades. It won’t be long before you have adult responsibilities. Enjoy being a kid instead of worrying about marriage.

No, not ten years. I will go with four years. As a 34 year, I know people in the 20-21 year range whose marriages work out fine, or who married around that age and are still together after a decade or so many years. So, I will not be the first to discourage any person of lawful age to be married, assuming other factors (not previously married, etc.).

The only concern I have here is Catholic with a non-Christian. Ideally, Catholics should marry other Catholics - in my opinion - so that they receive the strength that comes from Holy Communion to carry out there duties, and so that they will at least pray some prayers together.

I belive you that you really do love each other.

Being Catholic when I was younger, I didn’t understand the vast wisdom or the rich traditions as well as I should have at your age. But, one of our greatest treasures are the ‘doctors’ of the Church. One was St. Thomas Aquanias, who stated “To Love is to will the Good for another.”

You should be the best Catholic Man around, and not fear to tell her about your Faith. Pray for her, and her family.
