Conversation with my mother on spiritualist churches

I spoke to my mother a few days ago, and mentioned that I had been to a number of spiritualist churches. She was worried, and warned me that it was okay to visit the churches as a bit of fun, but to do it on a regular basis was not right. Her view was people who went to spiritualist churches were devil worshippers, and it could lead to mental illness. I was brought up as a catholic, and understand where she is coming from, although I don't agree with her.

I find it sad that I can't share this experience with most of my friends or colleagues, because of the stigma around it, and that I will be labelled as someone who has lost the plot.
