I found this comment most apt - and it wasn't from Anne, it was from one of the readers.
I could have told her any of these things about the Catholic church before she joined. Does no one do any fact checking before joining massive organizations and giving them lots of money?

Do you not see that? That's strange -- I see it in your post as well as my own.
Anyway, here's the link:

church isn´t just any organization in that respect. Often people are more or less raised into a religion.
It´s about culture, traditions and habits. Things that often are hard things to break away from.
I think it takes a lot of strength to reconsider and be able to change one´s mind on something.
