I am a Catholic, born and raised, and I echo your concerns about the leadership. However I will continue being a Christian forever, no matter what. I suggest you visit as many churches near you as you can, just to get a feel for them and the local leadership. All religions have good and less good local groups. In my opinion any of the Christian faiths would be great, just choose the one that fits you and yours best. Most places have great programs to get you started and up to speed, as that is one of the tasks of being a Christian, helping others to join the faith. I'm praying for you, congratulations for coming to this point of decision in your life. Good bless you.
