I am not mocking anyone. I am asking what I think is a great question--one that for whatever reason no one wants to answer.

If you hate everything the Catholic Church stands for, how does it make a lick of sense to stay?  If I didn't believe what the Catholic church teaches and professes, I would leave and join a Church that I liked and agreed with.  The reason I am in the Catholic Church is because I believe the Catholic Faith.

Dissidents complain about being controlled and manipulated.  How are they being controlled and manipulated when they can leave at anytime? What pope, bishop, priest or deacon is holding you at gun point and forcing you to stay? Who is controlling who, sir?  If I thought I was part of an organization that was manipulating and controlling me--I would get out.
