Yep! The former Episcopal church that is down the street from my house broke away and became the Anglican church over this issue. And, lost a lot of members.

The Catholic churches here are dropping members left and right due to the sex-priest scandals (a few priests here are accused).

The Baptist, Christian, and Vineyard churches are popping up everywhere.

First off, since I got so much negative reaction to using a sockpuppet, might as well say I'm the OP. Second with the Catholic Church, I think a lot of the people leaving is because the Bishops aren't disciplining the priests who abused those boys. The thing with the new Anglican churches in the US I think is how far the Episcopal church is diverging in certain areas of doctrine from the rest of the Anglican Communion, though for now the Episcopal is the recognized member of the Angilican Communion.
