To be fair, shit is probably one of the few things she does know.

It really is amazing. You're right, they don't want to lower their numbers.
Yet one of the posters shared a story of a Catholic family having to give a church back-pay (the family had stopped giving weekly donations) in order to get a funeral for a relative.
The church won't let you officially leave. Yet they have no qualms about swindling you if you've been a "bad Catholic" The Church wouldn't baptize my oldest. But baptized the child of a friend after her dad made a rather large contribution.
A friend's dad was a Presby minister. He christened her. I didn't bother with the other two. By the time I had them I was over it
The concept of paying....actually paying with cash money...did it for me though I had doubts long before that.

Done all that and more and I am still considered Catholic. Though I am not fully certain as to what perverted drugs are...
Fail on your part.

Fail on your part. Have you tried going to Mass and punching a Catholic square in the jaw?

That trick will work with the Roman Pontiff, which will result in an automatic excommunication.

OP,
Write a letter to your local bishop stating your desire to be removed from the pedo-protection racket called the kathy-lick church, insult him personally and agregiously, and blaspheme the holey casper. That should move things along nicely.

It won't. It's a simple function of their business model. Going hat in hand to the various governments of the world "you've gotta help these 1.3 billion catholics, give me money!".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

Notice that they deep sixed it. Doesn't help them rake in the billions in government funds that they then pretend to be a charity with. You can still send in a little letter, sure - and it's going straight in the trash unread along with anything else that the shamans feel might pick "their" pockets.
