It is appropriate to exit the church AFTER the priest and deacon leave the altar.

Roman Catholic AnswerIt is appropriate to leave Church after the recessional, then you kneel, and take a few minutes to offer gratitude and thanks to God for all that He has done for you in this past; and to offer gratitude and thanks to God especially if you have received Holy Communion. Then you should say a prayer asking Him to remain with you throughout this day and week. To leave immediately after the priest has left the altar without thanking God might be okay in an emergency but is hardly appropriate. Your after Mass Thanksgiving should never be admitted, and should extend at least fifteen minutes if possible. You have just been privileged enough by God to witness the greatest miracle of all time, to leave without thanking God, especially if you have received Holy Communion is not to be thought of.

Are there functioning Catholic churches in Bursa Turkey where one can attend Sunday Mass?

There is no Catholic Mass in in Bursa. The French Church (l’église française), which was edified at the end of the XIXth century, served Latin Mass to a French and Italian Levantine community until the 1960's. It has since served as a protestant church and was eventually reduced to a warehouse. After a complete restoration project was completed in 2004, the French Church serves as a cultural centre.

Why do most people start from the Catholic Church at their early stages and end up in other churches?

Answer from a CatholicMy personal opinion is that most people do not end up leaving the Catholic Church, far more people end up joining the Catholic Church each year than leaving it. And I think that the Bible, and a sincere, practical faith has a lot of do with both of them. Most of the people that I know of who are converts to the faith were very sincere Christians who were raised as protestants. Upon sincerely reading their Bibles, and praying to God, they came to the realization that the only Church that actually follows the Bible is the Catholic Church. There is a similar reason for people who leave the Catholic Church, for the most part they are not sincere Christians who pray and read their Bibles, they were just raised with attending Mass on Sunday, and never really came to grips with a personal Lord in their hearts, they end up leaving the Church because of friends, or social reasons, or they like the music better, or some such reason. Just personal observation, both groups remain in my prayers.
