I think you are right, both in your diagnosis and your remedy. I think that protestants that leave to Rome or Orthodoxy more for a
perceived authority and security than anything real. Rome is a mess, factured, with a majority of its seminaries and priests adhering to mainline liberalism. Orthodoxy is largely an ethnic social organization (or, more appropriately, collection of social orgzanizations) devoid of significant religious devotion. For an example of Orthodoxy, see Frank Schaeffer's The Seduction of Orthodoxy, which is posted in the link
here). Most Roman Catholic seminaries in the US are captive to theological liberalism that is little different than its mainline protestant counterparts.
