My understanding is that the method of leaving the RCC they suggest is part of the canon law of the church, and as such should apply world wide.

I think I read something on their site about this, and if I weren’t in such a rush tonight I’d seek it out now.

Wouldn’t screaming “F— Jesus” in the middle of Midnight Mass

accomplish the same thing?

It’s a pity that the form only supports Ireland. As a Catholic-turned-atheist in the US I’d love to see a site like this that supports former Catholics around the world. I realize that just doing the translation into various languages would be a major endeavor, but I see a lot of value in this.

This seems to be for Ireland residents – anyway this works for the rest of the world?

Now the real dilemma here is should I even waste a stamp mailing this form.

To be truthfully honest, I rather go out with a bang and be excommunicated instead

I read somewhere in Wikipedia that quite a few disillusioned Irish people are making a point of joining the (Anglican) Church of Ireland. While they’re merely trading one superstition for another, this would really grate with the RCC – perhaps more so than choosing atheism -given the way catholicism has always equated itself with Irish identity.
Can any Irish readers enlighten me further?

I’m almost tempted to become a Catholic, just so I can leave the Church.

Under the circumstances it would be laudable if the Irish Government ordered the church to check on everyone it ever baptised and ask if people would still like to be a member of an organisation that any decent human being would call ‘criminal’ with all the stuff that came out lately.

This is an excellent way to let them know how you feel and also hopefully get yourself off their statistics. Anyone who is no longer wants to be known as a catholic should do this. I’ve just linked this on my blog to help spread the word
