They go out into the wider, wild word, with baggage, they could have sorted out with a robust spiritual director.<br /><br />As someone who left the RC Church with real disagreements over doctrine, and being treated quite poorly at a very vulnerable point in my life, I don't spend my time carping at them, just getting on with being an Anglican, having been welcomed with open arms when I became one, after 20 years in the wilderness of agnosticism.<br /><br />And of course, these days, the RC Church has a radical leader, who is regarded as a heritic by many traditional types over there.
