One reason I made a point of raising my kids Catholic (after being away myself for years) is that I wanted to make sure they knew what it was. Then, if they rejected it, it would not be some cartoon version that they were rejecting. Or, if they stayed, they'd know exactly what they were staying in. So far, they remain highly critical but have not left. Personally, I'm fine with remaining, critical.
