IMHO, this is the result of many years of loose control within the Church - much of the reason I dropped out all those years ago.
Since the people were allowed to do what they wanted, they are now resisting when the doctrines of the Church are being imposed as they should.
Now that I am back, I am glad to see the Church taking the bull by the horns, but I am not surprised they are meeting with some serious resistance.
