I agree with the difference between the institutions of the Church (as opposed to the Church herself) in the North and the South.

Maybe it's all the cussed inde-G.D.-pendent Scotch-Irish around here, but "because Sister Mary Attila said so" doesn't cut it! And I think having to explain and defend on a regular basis has a lot to do with that.

We investigated the Church up and down and inside out before converting (I'm not only Scotch-Irish, I'm a naturally suspicious courthouse rat of a lawyer). I found nothing to dissuade us from conversion -- in fact the Church has its act together substantially more than our former locus -- the Episcopal Church (hey, what can I say, I was 6th-generation Anglican. It was a bad habit). The only reason you don't read all sorts of scandal about that outfit is because the media knows that TEC is on its side and will not report any of it.

I agree. The Roman Catholic Church is a major target of the media, because she teaches against much of what the media supports.
