They changed canon law to close the avenue where you could renounce the church and religion oficially (in their eyes). Unless you wrote the right letter to your bishop before 2012, if you've been baptised the church considers you catlick until you die. There are a large number of open atheists (including myself) whose baptisms are used by the church to inflate their numbers and influence.
I'm sure the fundie churches poll similar shenanigans.
