In 1980, my uncle got remarried to a Jewish woman. Our side of the family was Catholic, and hers was Jewish. They had a really hard time finding a Priest or Rabbi to marry them.
They finally found a Rabbi who would perform the ceremony.
My youngest cousin asked me what to call the man wearing the cap. I told her to call him Rabbi.
She called him "Father Rabbi" all day. Thank God, he got a kick out of it!
