. . . churchgoing Catholics are significantly less likely than churchgoing Protestants to change denominations.

Could it possibly be because there are fewer brands of Catholicism than of Protestantism?

In my experience, as a Protestant, I see too many people who don’t bother to understand their particular denomination’s teachings. This might actually require reading the bible and (gasp) additional literature related to that particular denomination’s teachings. People don’t bother to have convictions anymore b/c it takes too much effort. Most people just go where the music is upbeat and there are tons of programs for their children.

Not really...For many Protestants it's no different than Catholics trying out other Parishes because they are unhappy where they are at...Numbers look good tho, don't they...
