I know that much of my view of catholicism was shaped by my mother, grandmother and the nuns (my great aunts/cousins) who are all kind, intelligent, and strong women so even while I'm not catholic, I will always feel a connection there. My confirmation teacher encouraged critical thinking, told us his beliefs even if they weren't church beliefs. Catholics could drink, smoke, and dance and we never talked about hell or judgment. .I n ever saw the other side of the catholic church until I was in my 20's. If dgm wanted to go to church I would happily take her, and probably even participate in communion. I've been lucky enough that I have never seen the other side of the catholic church. I think it largely depends on your parish. I have an awesome one, and I am very lucky.
