But often the things that Catholics don't "like" about their religion are things I think of as being more "liberal". So I guess I often wonder what it is that the other, more liberal denominations DO stand for that the Catholic folks don't like. Hmmm, GeelyPenguin would be a good mind to pick about this...

You paged?
The biggest reason I have remained Catholic over any other religion is that I am incredibly opposed to evangelism. It's not appropriate. The first time my boyfriend (son of a very conservative Protestant minister) came to a Mass with me the priest gave a sermon about how Catholics evangelize through their actions rather than their words. He was absolutely boggled by that because he grew up in a home where you were expected to tell everybody about Jesus all the time.
I would be really happy to answer specific questions that you have.
