Exactly my point, as many ARE more conservative, it MUST be something else that keeps catholics from switching... when they don't agree with some of the doctrines... and I attended presbyterian and although we took communion, it was not done with NEARLY the ceremony as it is in Catholic churches, especially when one thinks about the emphasis placed on the first communion. and having had to confess before etc, that was my point in bringing up the "ritual/ceremony aspects.
