why leave catholicism?

Pew research has it in a chart.

and then there is this:

Some people, particularly men, are attracted to Pentecostalism because they are struggling with substance abuse or other problems. Pentecostalism promotes healthy lifestyles and serves as the largest detox center for Latin American men. Men who join these churches often stop hard drinking … or gambling or womanizing.

so mercy? Putting the horse before the cart.

Mercy means repentence and changing your life, not a mushy God loves you as you are so keep on sinning.

and no I don't plan to leave catholicism: It has the sacraments, and as the apostles said when Jesus asked them why they don't leave: only he has the kep to eternal life.
