As you asked in the OP...don't you have anything better to do? Reading up on a religion you don't subscribe to then bitching about that religion's rules in a place where very few of the religion's adherents will see your complaint is pretty pointless.
As others have noted, it's a voluntary relationship. If people don't want to be Catholic, they don't have to be. If people want to call themselves Catholic but cherry pick what parts they follow, they can do that too.
What difference does it make to you? Are you just pissed off that people listen to churches, but no one listens to you?
