(33,982 posts)Episcopalians are evolutionarily next door to Catholicism and evolutionarily more progressive than the RCC.
They still have issues on LGBT topics, but they are actually hashing them out right now, as opposed to taking surveys and thinking about maybe talking about something related to it possibly sometime later this year hopefully.
The Methodist church is also splintering as we speak, so there might be a really good, again, evolutionarily close in faith structure-option there in the near term.
Most of the 'near-spectrum' RCC-like orgs are still actively hashing out these issues, but they are actually tackling the problem, and there IS dynamic and active ground-up feedback driving it, whereas the RCC is just not budging at all. (Not yet, anyway)
(An aside, but I do personally know at least some catholics that are politically left of center, and bailing out for these reasons. Catholics I know that are politically right-of-center do not appear to be discomfited in the slightest.)
