Maybe they should just confess to the preist in private. The church should not have to pay for something they consider sinful. I do not understand why people who are Catholic gripe when they know they are breaking Catholic teachings. I do not grip with God when I sin. I admit it. The church is not at fault they are. If not then change Churches. I am not Catholic but if I were I would not be so full of self importance to think the Church should change for me.

You are referring to "Cafeteria Catholics." If you choose not to follow the Church's teachings to the letter of the law, then you are following some unnamed Catholic-like religion which you have invented for yourself.

You can run to third base when you get a hit, but you are no longer playing baseball.
