It seems you do not want to miss a chance to criticize anyone who left the Roman Catholic Church under the pretext that they "just didn't get catechized correctly".

Even worse is the accusation and more than clear implication that those who left the RCC did so out of *personnel reasons*, with the speculation that it is due to immorality, divorce, or other blatant sin in their lives. Never because of the Church's unscriptural theology.

>>"just didn't get catechized correctly".<<

ie “they weren’t indoctrinated fully”. One can understand the concept by looking at today’s youth. What they believe surely isn’t what I grew up believing about this country and it’s history. Even the history of this country has been changed through subtle changes slowly incorporated into the schools. The Catholic Church is like the government in this country. Slowly change over time leaves behind the original intent if those original writings are not understood and held has the guide.

Of ex-Catholics I've known well enough to be certain of their veracity it's been overwhelmingly due to the conflict between Scripture and Catholic teaching that they quit the Catholic church.

To my knowledge none ever went back.

*personnel reasons* = *personal reasons*

That’s what I get for trying to FReep before waking up...

Most who joined evangelical churches say they did so due to spiritual lack in Catholic ones, not any doctrine in particular, and become more conservative than they they were.
