And our church is full of former Catholics. Guess it flows both ways.

I'm not surprised - but - how many of them are former priests and religious? Each year, there are hundreds of former Protestant ministers that convert; some even bring in their parishioners.

Pastor and Flock Convert to Catholicism

LOL. I dare say every year more priests and Catholic “religious” are convicted of various sex crimes than in my church (broadly speaking). Doesn’t really mean much, either way. The fact that priesthood numbers are plummeting suggests there aren’t that many to leave in the first place!
