26. Most church going Catholics in normal times, pay very little attention to pronouncements

from the Vatican. The vast majority of Catholics, for example, completely ignore Church policies on birth control. What matters most to most Catholics, besides the Sacraments, is the connection they feel to other people in their local parish, and to their parish priest and and other local church leaders.

Ironically, people who aren't Catholics give much more importance to the hierarchy than members of the laity do.
