I suspect this will continue to cause frustration and the stepfather seems to be making the problem worse. My situation is far from similar but my mom converted to Catholicism over 40 years ago before my parents wed and ~20 years ago she was pushed away from the church primarily by one single priest, as a result her attendance is sporadic at best. I don’t know that I could offer any advice besides paying as much attention to your kids and try to keep toxic personalities out of your life as much as possible. I really do hope that your mom and step dad put forth more effort to being the kind of people you want your family around.
