Scientific Speculation - Moon orbit perpendicular to planet orbit

The idea is that the plane of the moon orbit is aproximately at a 90 degree angle to the plane of the planet orbit. Would that be stable, or even possible?

Supposing size, mass, distance, axial tilt, rotational period, similar to the Earth-Moon system, would this peculiarity have any noticeable effects (or requirements) on tides, geomagnetism, evolution, history of astronomy, superstitions, culture in general?
