A Worldly Church is a Weak Church

Understand this: The Catholic Church is universal by name and definition, and all are welcome to it. However, this does not translate into chaos and lawlessness, and by being welcome, it does not mean that the Church agrees that you should do whatever you like and live howsoever you desire. There are definitly rules to follow. There are definitely objectives to which we should aspire. You can live per your own leave, of course, and the Church will not bar you from it, but then why do you seek the Church? And if you don't seek it, why mind about what those who do choose to do of it? In the Church, we are taught not to hate the sinner, but the sin. Still, while the Church hates no-one, it cannot, in good conscience and in all fairness to its purpose, accept certain behaviours even if others do. The Church cannot bend to fashion. It cannot bend to the times. It cannot bend to society’s appetites. For a Church of Christ is a beacon of God’s values; not man’s.
