Maybe the doctrine was not conservative or strict enough. I can relate to that.
I’m afraid not, my sister in law converted from Catholicism because she “supports the gays”. My ex-girlfriend converted because she decided she’s “bisexual”, my best friend’s wife, sister, and parents left for one of those feel good, Joel Osteen-esque Mega Churches. I never asked them why, but I’ve known them to make comments about things like birth control, Catholic teaching on masturbation and pornography, and “celibate men in robes”, and that when it comes to sex “Catholics still think it’s the 1950s.” So, in other words. . . sex, sex, sex. . . that’s why almost every former Catholic I know left the Church (the exception is one hispanic family and they didn’t become any flavor of Baptists).
Fear not, however, the term “Baptist” is such a generic catch-all these days that their conversion to being Baptists is essentially meaningless, so I don’t really associate it with whatever it is that the usual suspects here do on their Sunday mornings (if they happen to be some form of Baptist anyway).
Oh, and I think Catholic Doctrine is more than conservative or strict enough for anybody. The trouble seems to be how few people actually abide by it.
