text: I still believe and feel that there really is no difference between Catholicism and Protestantism since Vatican II and that's why many people left the Church over the past 5 decades.
  I remember the RCC before 1962:
  It had a STRONG identity and most Catholics believed it was "THE TRUE CHURCH."
  Not anymore.
  That's why people left.
  Why should I remain Catholic and follow all those rules when I can get to Heaven just as easily as my Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, or atheist neighbors who don't have to follow these rules.
  To leave is very logical, and that's why most did.
