Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Well I just think this thread is pointless? Is it really that important to formally leave an institution that doesn't require annual registration??

    Clearly it is for those that started the thread and (other than yourself perhaps) those who continue to post in it. There's a similar thread over on the A&A forum, so it would appear to be a topic of interest to quite a few people.

    I think for some people it amounts to wanting to publicly dissociate themselves from the Catholic church as a result of ongoing scandals over the years, stance on reproductive health and attitude to the LGBT community. I've a couple of friends who still consider themselves Christian but no longer Catholic on this basis and others who have rejected religion entirely.

    Out of interest, why post on a thread you think is pointless if you don't have a view on the matter yourself?

    It's virtue signalling pure and simple. There is no publicly available list of members. Nobody knows who is in . Thus it smacks of a person in search of victim hood. If fhis preoccupies your mind - God help you. Fair enough if the church actually harmed you but no evidence here . Bar a man with too much time on his hands and a fixation on having a pop at his poor old parents.

    Surely the only authority the Catholic church have to count you as a member stems from themselves. Isn't is a case of someone setting up (app based sounds best) an authority to declare ones removal from that church? If it really matters.

    The idea of wanting an authority that you don't recognise, provide a formal declaration of terminated membership of their organisation, requires you to recognise that authorities authority to terminate membership.

    Strikes me that the hullabaloo over such a thing (how do I leave) is a case of hullaballoos sake. Like walking into a Christian cake shop looking for trouble.
