It should be noted that many who left the Catholic Faith, usually for a non-denominational mega church, often can't give a theological reason.  They can only say that they enjoy the liveliness and entertainment that a mega church often provides.

Truth drives their journey.

You can’t kick against the goad forever.

“The gates of Hell shall not prevail against it”.

Like the Energizer Bunny, the Church just keeps going.

That's funny. Every single person I know who left the Roman Catholic Church did so for theological reasons, and for the most part did NOT leave to go to a "mega church."

Methinks this is a rather skewed view of reality.

All I can think of is Nirvana's line, "here we are now/ entertain us."
