Yep! My grandmother was a liberal (if serious) Catholic, and my mother was a fundie evangelical, so I had a kind of window into the differences between the two. As I broke away from the fundamentalist tradition in my teenage years, I didn’t get any closer to the Catholic tradition, but I made good use of my grandmother’s library of theological and philosophical books. Funny, discussing Darwin and Marx with an old lady who still kept holy water and relics in utter seriousness.
