Intellectual honesty means counting the Catholic vote, it is a single church, with a single teaching, and a single culture, not a collection of churches of vast diversity such as the category “Protestant”, it does not mean giving a purity test to see if they should be excommunicated by the church and forbidden to identify as Catholics, and removed from being counted as Catholic by the Vatican, all according to some guys personal definition of purity.

Just ask how many Catholics there are worldwide. Catholics are certainly happy enough to count everyone who has ever been a baptized Catholic when it comes to tallying up their 1.2 billion strong.

For that matter, I'll bet I'M still on Catholic rolls. I never told them I left and nobody ever noticed I was missing and tried to contact me about it.

And it's no surprise. What with the way the priests rotated through the parish, there's no way to keep track of all the parishioners. Heck, we couldn't keep track of the priests and there were far fewer of them than us.

Since you have steadfastly refuse to state which church or denomination you now belong to its anybody's guess. Besides, your journey isn't yet over so there is no sense coming to a premature conclusion. The Church will welcome you back when you are done with whatever it is you are trying to teach them by your absence.
