Well perhaps, but what you may not understand is that the churches stance on issues does not mean necessarily mean thats what "they are preaching about". Believe it or not, mass does not consist of the priest standing at the front saying "gays are bad, they're going to hell" "don't jerk off" "don't worry about us molesting all the altar boys" "males are superior to females".
As I said earlier though, personally I'm a casual catholic and interpret for myself what is relevant, pertinent and applicable to myself. I cannot speak for the truly religious.
