I think my dad is a Catholic man who denies to himself that he knows there is something intrinsically wrong with his faith. He wouldn't judge me, but he would feel it necessary to at least cajole me should I ever tell him. More out of Irish family duty, I suspect.

My mam is a little more spiritual in her approaches to everything - even going as far as to believe on guardian angels. I would never tell her. Not because of the storm it would cause, but because - in the best possible respect for my wonderful mum - she wouldn't be able to rationally discuss my choices.
