I am also a Catholic who learned Christian values from my Methodist Mom. One day as a child, I told my Dad that I was praying that Mom would become a Catholic like us. He told me in no uncertain terms that I should not be saying that prayer. Rather, he said, I should pray that I would become a good Christian like my mother.
Not to disparage your mom, but ‘...there is none good: no, not one.’
