[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cradle Catholic, feel myself eventually deciding to go Protestant in future (I'm in my 40s).

This isn't about scandals or anything, but rather realizing I believe the Eucharist is representative of Christ (not Transubstantiation), never been heavily into Mary, saying rosary, going to confession (although I do it). I feel I should be with God when and where I want, not necessarily each Sunday at Mass. Want to see different sides of Scripture and not what we're told by Rome, etc.

There's no anger, just my thinking there's no point in staying the course. DS has one year until confirmation and then I'd like him to decide if he wants to remain Catholic or come with me to a Protestant church, etc (DH was raised Protestant but doesn't really attend now).

Has anyone BTDT?

Have you considered trying a different parish? My liberal leaning Catholic church does not heavily emphasize many of the things you dislike about the Catholic churchl except weekly attendance at Mass, which is non-negotiable. Perhaps you need to find a more inspiring and open Catholic community. On the otherhand, perhaps give and Episcopal church or Methodist church a try. [/quote]
