The query is short of facts. Which is this company - is it a public sector unit? being a Christian, where is the question of caste, as Christianity does not recognise any caste? How you were married - under Special Marriage Act? Is the letter from the Parish priest asked in writing?
Anyhow, it is only the Competent Revenue Authority who can issue a legally valid Caste/Community Certificate.

cast is determined by birth and bringing up .
by marriage one does not get converted into a cast of hindu religion.
u continue to be a catholic for the purpose of reservation . village officer before issuing certificate can make such enquirieis he deems fit before issuing certificate.
