I is not that they can't bring themselves to become Catholic, it is that the local Catholic churches are hotbeds of leftist, Marxist, feminist theology. Atleast that is my experience.

Alas, this is too often true. They certainly don't have anything to do with the Catholic faith that I knew.

The Orthodox, fortunately, seem to be immune to this at the moment. Hope they stay that way!

Gee and I had thought that it was the Roman Catholic Church which put a stop to lay investiture of bishops (political leaders or bosses choosing bishops) and the Orthodox Church which, rejecting the papacy, had to fall back on the Soviet Politburo and KGB to name the leaders of the Orthodox Church in Russia and its satellites.
