I'm not going back either. I like Francis a bit more than his immediate predecessors, but not enough that I'd ever want to go back. Even if we had a Pope who dropped the opposition to abortion and birth control, and treated women as fully equal and worthy of ordination I still don't think I would go back even then. I wish I had swam the Thames years ago. I would have saved myself a lot of mental issues if I had left.

I'm a member of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church. Just not the Roman version of it.
