Wow, I had no idea it was that hard. It's always seemed pretty easy to me.
As I see it, your choices are limited if you're Catholic - put up with bad/rogue theology, or move to another parish. If you're Protestant, you can always cross the street
Why is moving to another parish somehow "more limiting" than switching to a different denomination? You don't have to physically move your family unless the commute is really too long to bear; nobody cares about parish territoriality anymore for precisely this reason.
My family and I don't go to our territorial parish.
The guys wearing hats?
An interesting and honest comment. I have thought for years that RC's are always church shopping,( some ultra-conservatives I know boast that they drive past 6 or so other parishes to the one with Gregorian chant.) I guess it could be likened to being in an HMO,,you know you have to stay in network, choose from the approved participating providers. Really very protestant this activity.
