The kids would be whatever the parents wanted them to be.
it used to be the religion of the mother, but that is no longer true

Well, it's not that simple if the Catholic in the marriage is a strong practicing Catholic. The Catholic Church does not recognize a marriage if it is not performed in a Catholic Church by a Catholic priest. Also, if you are going to get married to a non-Catholic or a non-Christian in the Catholic Church, you must agree before the Catholic Church marries you to raise any children you have as Catholic.

Again, this only applies if the Catholic in the marriage cares about having their church recognize their marriage.
