The Catholic church isn't a democracy either. That means either you accept the official stance, or you're living in sin. You're free to switch religion if you can't accept that.

This pisses me off so much because it's true. The CBCP will only change their stance after great amounts of pressure from all sides. Even then they'd do it slowly so as to save face.

But like Antonio says, there are always people inside the Church who don't subscribe to the official word. That doesn't necessarily make them sinners. I can hardly call an upstanding priest or nun or whatever who disagrees with the governing body's decision to be "living in sin", no matter what doctrine may say.
