An Irish Catholic is more likely to marry another Catholic (Polish, German or Italian) than a Protestant; similarly, a Protestant Swede tends to marry another Protestant (Finn, Dutch, Scotch, English). In religion and in social relations, minorities still resist amalgamation, although even here the lines are not nearly as sharply drawn as they once were.
