Good. What use is having a ruling central authority if it can’t even purge these goofs?
The thing is that the Church is not a monolithic dictatorship with strict HR direction. And with Vatican II as a further widening of the gap between the US and the Vatican, the moral drift started to become very noticeable. However, the mechanisms for correcting heresy (which never have been that immediately powerful any time in Church history) were also lessened.
Remember that the Church measures time in centuries, not weeks. And its correction, unfortunately, takes decades, if not centuries. Look at the Church response to heresies throughout its history.
