When I was a Protestant, two kinds of Catholics were recognized. “Good Catholics become Protestants.” Other Catholics were “Trapped in Rome”.
I saw many, many Catholics became Protestants. Listening closely helped me understand why! Many who left The Catholic Church had been divorced and re-married. Sometimes, often!
They all looked very sincere each time they repeated: “The Catholic Church is ‘Behind the times’!”

Why did they leave The Catholic Church? The Catholic Church, and the first four centuries of Protestants, had not changed This Teaching of Jesus Christ! “What God has joined together let no man put asunder.”
Modern Protestants allow easy divorces and remarriages. Catholics who joined our denominations were in marriages The Catholic Church would not “put asunder”. They let desires destroy their families.
~But, they still wanted to go to Heaven!~
That’s why they became Protestants! The Profiteers of Protestantism told them: “The only important thing is to love Jesus!”
That is an appeal to the greatest vanity on earth! It lets people think they could tell God what to do! “All I have to do is say ‘I love Jesus!’ Then, He has to let me into Heaven.”

I had an odd question when I was a Protestant. Jesus chose 12 men to be His first Catholic priests. They obeyed the example set by Jesus. That is why only men can become Catholic priests.
There is one obvious reason for that. If a woman priest were raped and became pregnant, her primary duty would be for her child. That would distract her from serving her congregation.
I began to connect the dots. Protestants began to ordain women at the same time they started allowing easy divorce and remarriages.
Was that because the smarter Protestant clergymen did not want to go to Judgment and be specifically among the “men” mentioned in: “What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.”?
