I’m from Belgium, traditionally a catholic country, and from that POV pretty certain that the biggest issue is that the catholic church as an institution has a pretty bad historical rep (still going on today) of abuse of power, and covering up where they see fit. So might help if they clean house, change policies and find ways to amend the victims.

Just to say that I don’t agree that it’s always about misconceptions but more often about mistrust or not feeling accepted.

That said there have been signs of a more open environment and their ceremonial texts can often be an interesting read.
