"She is considering attending a church that is not Catholic, she said."

That's a bit different than she's considering not being a Catholic anymore.

Keep in mind that this is the only Catholic church in that town.

Also, before judging her, keep in mind that the good people of the Richmond diocese were saddled with the good William Sullivan for many long years...In a parish run by him, I'd question almost anything myself.

Huh? If you believe in what the Catholic Church teaches about sacraments, then attendence at a Protestant Church is not an option or a substitute.

What point does it make to say one "considers" herself Catholic, but doesn't seem to think it matters one whit if one gets valid sacraments or not?
