Isn’t the Roman Catholic Church the one you can never really leave, like the “family?”

Man. Where did you get that? There are plenty of Catholics that leave. Where do you think Protestants get their congregations? I left when I was 13 and returned when my wife to be wanted to be married Catholic. I am glad to be back. It isn't perfect. Nothing involving human beings ever is. But, it's right for me.

Yes, Catholics can leave anytime. I just wish the ones who give us a bad name would be shown the door.

I think they might make up a very small percentage of Protestant congregations.

You may think you have "left," but the Catholic Church still considers you one of it's flock, although sadly separated.

You didn't have to get "re-baptized" when you return, did you?
