But the people who DO believe are running the Church. Even their idiocy around the child sex abuse scandal can be explained through the religious beliefs (although certainly not excused.) So they make the rules.
I'm sure there are more Catholic women who have had abortions and don't say a word about them to their local priest and who continue to attend Mass. They're wrong according to the rules, but not wrong according to their beliefs.
