Yup. Like I said. Church shopping, for various reasons.
None of the responses disproves my contention. You all
never admit the truth about this.
Well, in the same usage, I'll say many Protestants "never" learn how to make a distinction or to tell between valid and invalid distinctions.
I maintain that, as I said, there's something the same and something "other". The same is the shopping, the "other" is remaining within a denomination. There are important differences between, say Baptists and Presbyterians or between either of them and Episcopalians. But I have known people to float from one of these denominations to another because of the preacher or the music or whatever. I would venture to guess that there are few Catholics (on a percentage basis) who float from the Catholic Church to the Baptist and back again on such grounds. So it's a significantly different KIND of Church shopping. I can agree that there is Church Shopping, but not that it is exactly like Protestant Church Shopping

Who’s “You all”?
Maybe you don’t know a lot of Catholics, but everyone I know admits to it. We don’t like a parish, we find another.
See, the liturgy is the same (mostly) wherever we go. So we shop for the community. Except in the case of an ultra-lib parish. There, the liturgy has so much innovation, is can border on bizarre.
Parish shopping is not a secret.
