    I am gay and am happy you support my civil rights and are liberally minded.

Why do you want to continue to be Catholic though?
    What teachings is is you are looking for that you don't think you will find in an Episcopal Church.

I really am just curious, If you don't follow the Catholic doctrine then why do you want to be one?

I'm not the OP but would like to respond. I'm Catholic and I stay despite my disagreements. The Church is in crisis because of the myopic focus on mostly sexual issues (anti-gay, anti-birth control/choice, anti-stem cell) when she should be focused on Gospel values (the primacy of love, faithfulness, detachment from possessions, service, solidarity, littleness, transforming movements). I feel a personal responsibility to speak up for Gospel values and hope that more Catholics do so rather than leave the Church.

Thanks for responding, I totally agree with you, I think too much time is spent on small sections of the Bible that people focus to much time and attention on.
However, The things you think the Church should be focusing on are all things that an Episcopal or Methodist Church can provide, so again, why stick to the Catholic Church?[/quote]
