And a large percentage of those leaving do so because the other churches approve serial adultery (i.e., divorce and remarriage.)

The local non denom Pentecostal mega church is over 50% former Catholics. And more than half of them are there because of divorce and remarriage.

Wife and I visited Puerto Rico over Christmas week last year. I was surprised to see so many Protestant churches...

An assertion or did you ask and interview?

Evangelical churches take what Jesus Christ said on marriage literally. You get hitched you stay hitched.

Depending on the area, that may be true. Hear, in my church, most of the former Catholics fled because of the abuse in the local diocese. On family felt that if the wanted to protect their children, one of which was a victim, the had to go.

A opposed to marriage->annulment (for the well-heeled only) ->remarriage, which is much more moral and correct compared to what those dirty Protestants do.....right?

Then we can pray that God will put someone in the life’s path that will lead them back to the Catholic Church.
