My understanding, and I'm not really into religion, is that the church
powers (and this applies to most religions) are afraid that if they give in
on some rule, then people will start to question whether all the other rules
also need to be followed. Also, I understand that one of the reasons of
having all these rules is to keep the congregation constantly challenged in
trying to meet them.
Good luck in getting the Catholic Church to change.
