Default if I want to leave the catholicism now what sect or church of the protestantism can I

what is the good church in the protestantism? there are many of them some are closer to the Catholicism.. some pastors or fathers for them dress like a catholic and wear a cross and use images.. and the others don't use nothing except they believe in instant miracles like Pentecosts and others pastors scream too much.

You need to have a relationship with God before that question can be answered.. If you already have one, ask him.

Why not try visiting different churches until you find one you like?

No one can tell you what type of church you're going to be happiest in. It would be best for you to go out to a different church every Sunday until you find one that you like.

Seventh Day Adventists are as far from Catholicism as you can get and as close to Biblical truth as you can get. They are not loud like pentecostal but are mostly balanced and calm during the sermon. You would enjoy it, I think.

EDIT: Saturday is when they have church at SDA because God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. It is one of the commandments of God to honor the Sabbath and SDA is one of the few churches that actually upholds all 10 commandments.

Look for the church you believe in the most. That's going to be different for everyone.

I'm Lutheran. there are many similarities to catholic church. we have communion, baptisms, etc. but there is no mass. if you are actually looking for a new denomination, you will have to look for yourself.

High Church of England is the closest to the Catholic religion

Why not go all the way and really expand your horizons - follow the truth, and become an atheist.

Episcopalian is a good one. They are nicknamed "diet catholic", Lil. They have priests that can get married, and they also have women priests. and they believe in divorce, but that's basically all of the differences.

I would first decide what churches I could never fit into. Mark those off.
I would call and talk to the ministers of those you might like. Then pay a visit on Sunday to those you have not marked off.
Keep looking until you find the one you like.

Do not go to any church that teaches anything but the Bible.
This is what I did many years ago.
God be with you.

I'm Baptist, but I think you might like Lutheran churches also. They are conservative protestant churches. No screaming and stuff like that.

You can join any protestant church you want though.

Visit some local churches, but go on line to their websites first and read their Statement of Faith. If Christianity is taught and the Bible is believed, you can't go too far wrong. As you mature in your understanding, you may move to some other denomination. Denominations are kind of like cars. You might like a certain manufacturer, but even that company will have a variety of models to choose from. Protestant churches are like that. Some are named for their form of government (Presbyterian, Congregational), some for their belief in spiritual manifestations (Pentecostal, Full Gospel), some are named for their member's salvation (Baptist - which is also quite varied from conservative to liberal), and there are denominations that seem to have abandoned the Bible for social causes (United Church of Christ, Metropolitan (gay), and Episcopalian, etc). So there is a lot to learn, but you will soon find that you can feel comfortable in several denominations, and probably not in several others, as like minded people have similar views with slight variations that make them distinct.

Before you do anything, I think you need to stop and reconsider your decision to leave the Catholic Faith. No other church has the fullness of the Sacraments, including Holy Eucharist and the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance. They are both necessary for life in Christ, and I suspect you will miss them very much if you leave the Church.

The best you are going to find in Protestantism is a sort of watered down version of the Catholic Faith -- churches that have something like Mass and the Sacraments, but with none of their spiritual authority and power handed down from Jesus Himself. I suggest praying and seeking God before you separate yourself from Christ's true Church on earth.

After all, it's your soul that's at stake here.

Edit:

Before the thumbs-down start rolling in, I ought to explain that I left the Church for a number of years, and I know what I'm talking about. I sat in different Protestant churches, trying to find one that satisfied my spiritual needs, but all the time, I was missing the Eucharist and the Mass.

It wasn't until I came back to the Church and the Sacraments that I felt at peace and where God wanted me to be.
