>>So, I’m just curious, have you really known “dozens and dozens” of Catholics who have left the Church or is it really just a couple and you are rounding up again?<<

I’d say that ANY of those “dozens and dozens” didn’t have a clue that the Bible is read in every Holy Mass.

Those that I have known that did leave the Church, did it because they didn’t like the rules (birth control, divorce, church every Sunday, etc.) and use the “I was enlightened when I openned the Bible” excuse. When you question them on it, you find that they know squat about what they left.

Most of them jump from church to church, looking for someplace that fits their inability to follow rules.

I’ve met tons of ex-Catholics in the homeschooling groups. And tons of converts to the RCC. You should hear the things said about Protestants by them! One man has told me never to go to a Protestant church for fear that they will pollute my children. Yikes!

One of those "dozens" does know that you can attend Mass for 100 years and never hear the entire Bible.

Can we agree that all who leave the Catholic Church and become Protestant are essentially phonies who leave for selfish reasons and all who leave a Protestant Church for the Catholic Church do so for pure and holy reasons?
