I was raised a Catholic (schools and all) but never went back after graduation. I married a Lutheran (Wisconsin synod, I believe) and HIS parents were (are) rabid anti-Papists with a pure, true hatred of "idolotrists" like us Catholics (Mary and all, you know). Even though I had NO fond feelings for the Church, I really couldn't stand them putting my entire family down with the hellfire and damnation bit. It certainly helped to dissolve the marriage. Even though I didn't practice, I would NOT convert, so I was the enemy---plain and simple in their eyes.
Proceed with caution.
