I find it amusing that a person refers to the conservative opinion as though it were not the opinion most closely aligned with and delineated by the catholic authority.
As observed, the RCC allows people to be bad catholics to keep the pews full..that doesn't mean that they agree with those bad catholics or their cafeteria doctrine. This is the same organization that still asserts that not only is christian belief a requirement..but that catholic -rituals- are a requirement. The same organization that only recently waffled (but did not officially rewrite) that un-enfranchised infants go to purgatory, which..you know, may or may not exist. If anyone is imagining that the RCC has made some significant change to their doctrine regarding religious affiliation and hell that would be the only place that any such change occurred...their imaginations. We hear that all the time, too, don;t we? "Nope, the church hasn't reversed itself!"...until, you know, someone starts really wishing they had.
The fear of the RCC (and my hope) is that someday, those "catholics" will realise that they are not meaningfully catholic, that they are fundamentally at odds with the church on nearly every significant point of doctrine. Unfortunately, that will be the end of a long running tax scam and notable pedo ring.
