Being Catholic does not mean you stop thinking for yourself.

Being Catholic means believing the teachings of Catholicism.

I agree with you. Everyone who wants to use birth control should leave the church. If you want to have sex for pleasure only with your spouse, don't be a catholic. Find a church where that's okay. That's what we did and we're happy for it.

Same for divorce, unless you can bribe the curch to grant you an annulment.

I also believe the church should make a public issue of those who support abortion not receive communion. For too long American catholics have had it both ways.
