Seems simple. I've always wondered why people say, "I don't like what my organization stands for. I know, instead of leaving it and find one I do like--or maybe starting my own--I'll try to make sure it abides by my values and those that joined it because they agree with it can leave. Hey, I get all the assets if I win! Cool! Ain't I just speerichul?"

Seems simple. Forthright and honest versus arrogant and grasping. But I seem to be in the minority. Many like to be preachers and try to reform others.

Note that I don't agree with the Catholic Church's teaching on many things and see no reason to join it.
