https://religionnews.com/2021/11/16/in-catholic-italy-de-baptism-is-gaining-popularity/Italian Catholics are taking increasing advantage of an option the Catholic Church made available, apparently a couple decades ago, to "abandon" the Church.
Unlike LDS Inc, in the Catholic Church, it really is "a local matter". You send in a notice of abandonment or whatever they technically call it, and a notation gets added to your baptism entry, stating that you have abandoned the church.
Their process does not seem as well-oiled, nor uniform world wide, as in the Mormon Church, but Mormons tend to be first class bureaucrats, so no surprise there.
It is interesting to see the parallels with members leaving the Mormon Church. Looks like the Mormons are a trend-leader for a change. Way to go, Mos!!
