She did want to discuss moral issues quite a lot, and yes she did want to convert me back to catholicism. I couldn't see what could be gained by continuing the friendship.
And I wanted to change her mind, because it's better not to be a catholic!
Just because you know it's better doesn't mean you have to harbor a burning desire to change her mind. If you want to change her mind for her benefit, ask yourself, is it better for her to continue to be her friend, or to stop? Of course, this can only work if she can take the same stance with you.
You are also free to choose to otherwise, of course. It's enough for me to have posed the interesting questions.
