I am also Catholic, have been to many protestant churches and agree that having families as pastors is a good thing. I struggle going to church because while I believe in Jesus and the Bible, I don't have much faith in churches overall.
Us as well, which is going to become a thing as we've not kept up with registration and the young uns may have trouble later without Ze Paperwork... Looking at Old Catholic, who apparently perform sacraments that are accepted by Roman Catholic, but allow married priests, and Greek Orthodox, who are very much dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
We've had issues as well, been continuing to go to virtual masses but only Catholic, Greek Orthodox. Our 'membership' lapsed yet we don't want our kids to have paperwork issues when they're ready for confirmation, marriage... Looking around now for options, painfully aware that they want you to be tracked at one location (through weekly donations in person of course) for a couple of years for them to do anything with you, while freaking Madonna bought herself a cathedral wedding and Biden and pelosi still haven't been excommunicated... Ugh.
