Why our Catholic family attends a Protestant church

In brief

A Catholic family began attending a Protestant church because the daughter felt a lack of representation among Church leaders.

Nathaniel Hunter reports for U.S. Catholic that the family's 12-year-old daughter noticed that no one in high positions of authority in Catholic spaces looked like her. This observation, combined with her experience in Catholic school, led her to feel discouraged about religion after her first eight years of education.
