because your friends go there, because the priest is good, or you have a club or group or meeting there you enjoy going to after church?
Silly to say so many base going to church for some reason, but honestly, I will go into any Catholic church just because God is there and he welcomes all, anytime, any hour not based on who does what, or if there's a great sinner.
I have to look at myself and my relationship with God.

I'm a Catholic, and I'm usually in church several times a week (this is partially because I work with church music). The majority of my friends aren't Catholic, or even Christian, so I'm not there for my friends. The main priest is actually a dull speaker, so it's not that, either. I go because, to me, the church offers a sense of sacred space, and I can really pray there and feel that I'm communing with God. And there's also the Holy Eucharist, which is a focal point of my faith.

I go to church. I love it; I find comfort and peace at my church. I enjoy my pastor and the messages he gives. I believe in God and heaven with all my heart, or else I think I would go stark raving mad.

I go as honestly as I can.
The one I go to now, I can't say I'm particularly crazy about the priest or the music or anything else. It's for the Eucharist and worshiping together with the Church, i.e. Christ's mystical body on earth, i.e. all of us.

I go to church to recharge my spiritual batteries. The spirit needs nourishment just as the body. If we starve our bodies, they get weak and die. If we starve our spirits they get weak and die as well. Meaning that you lose the spiritual feeling and become incapable of feeling spiritual things anymore.
Thus, I go to church to keep my spirit alive and in tune with spiritual things.

Is the Hour of God's Judgment is Come? Believers must NOW Flee the Churches?
The Bible teaches that in these days we should flee the churches. Gods judgment has begun, and God starts it at the external church. We should, if possible, fellowship with other believers; (He.10:25) but not in a church.
Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. (Re.14:7)
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand: (Matthew 24:15)
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled. (Lu.21:20-22)
In these verses, Jerusalem and Judaea refer to the external or corporate churches. The ETERNAL CHURCH consists of all those whom God has saved and these will live with Him forever in Heaven.
The armies are Satan (the antichrist), as he comes with his false prophets and lying signs and wonders.
This is Gods judgment on the church. See also:2 Thessalonians 2:1+.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? (1 Pe.4:17)

We are in the great tribulation
However, the character of the great tribulation is not one of physical violence; but the character of the great tribulation is that of spiritual unfaithfulness in the churches and congregations of the world towards the Word of God. The churches of our day (all denominations: whether Catholic or Protestant) have fallen away tremendously from the truths of the Bible.
For then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be… For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:21,24)
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
