But Christianity is generally not about formal laws.

But Catholicism is. Lots of them.

Which is why people are leaving the Catholic church in droves.

The Church has lots of laws, for the benefit of the faithful who need to know what is and what isn't obedient behavior. However, my point to count-your-change is that the Church, not the formalities of the Jewish laws is the source of those, and none of them are salvific. We are saved by grace alone and not by the works of the law.
