I found many reasons to leave but ultimately I left because I realized that Catholicism was chock full of unbiblical doctrines. Francis' numerous forays into world politics were what initially compelled me to take a hard look at the worldly Catholic system.
With that said there are many Godly people in the Catholic Church and I certainly anticipate that they'll go straight to Heaven. However, I am 100% convinced that Catholicism is wrong about many doctrines, starting with their various Popes wanting to be worldly political leaders.
@arthur-dent Gemini thinks LBB is an old Rivals poster called "Tressel_Is_God." That's not who I was thinking of. Do you remember the racist buckeye fan I'm trying to recall?

Actually, after interrogating Gemini some more, the computer god is convinced you were BioRealist and/or AnthropologyBuck and/or TheProfessor, among perhaps others. BioRealist definitely rings a bell for me from the old Peegs.com days.

Congratulations. You’ve turned away from the one true church and are unrepentant.
That is a mortal sin. You no longer know God’s grace.
You’ve turned away from the one true church
The "one true church" is Jesus's body of faithful followers. It's certainly NOT the abomination in Rome.

Cool story..
Exactly right. The Catholic Church claims that the Pope is the "Vicar of Christ" (nowhere in the Bible) but the various Popes are infamous for sharing their own words instead of Christ's words. Additionally, neither the Lord Jesus nor the Apostles engaged in politics, so why have the Popes?

Are these guys spreading the good news of Jesus? No, they are not. Why not? Do they want to be messengers for Jesus or do they instead want to spread their own message? Obviously it's the latter.

Sorry, cannot help you. I avoid other boards like the plague. Seriously, what if being an OSU fan is contagious? What human would take that risk?

Don't take this the wrong way, but you are incredibly stupid.
The opening of Mark is very clear "The kingdom of God has come near". Mark 1:15. It couldn't possibly be more political than that. He didn't just smash the Romans either. He walked right into the Jewish political center (the Temple), called it a Den of Thieves. Mark 11:17. "Render unto Caeser what is owed to Ceaser..." is not a apolitical. Rather, his statement forces the Pharisees to question what really belongs to God, as the assumption of the Pharisees was that Caeser owned it all.
Jesus wasn't crucified for his religious views. He was crucified for being an insurrectionist.
If an agnostic can figure this out, I pity the half-baked zombies like you who never seem to get it right because they don't want to. I know you get this a lot at home, but "you are doing it wrong" here as well.

Mark 1:15 and 14 is where Jesus begins his Galilean ministry.
Called the temple a den of thieves because the vast profits from the market inside the temple area were partly used to enrich the family of the high priest.

It isn't the profits that bothers him, it is the obstructing access for all nations to pray, and he's quoting Jeremiah and Isaiah, but either way, he's pushing back on the Jewish leaders claim to the Temple
I don't understand your reference to the beginning of Jesus' ministry. He says what says, a political and theological statement
