I've never met people so obsessed with Catholics as ex-Catholics. It's like an ex wife following her much happier ex husband around trying to find out what he is up to (and even resorting to such catty behaviours checking out how he is dressing). And it's obvious to everyone that the ex-wife never really got divorced, while the ex husband is just glad that his fishwife is no longer around. The ex wife, sadly, will never realize that the problem is herself and not the man she married. He just doesn't care anymore.
If that’s all you’re seeing, then you are clearly missing the whole point.
