Its like saying that the Church never made as big a deal about repudiating the co-redemptrix ideas and the Arian heresy. One was simply a bigger point of contention.

Like all the hard sayings of Christ, these are the things where we as disciples must be obedient to our teacher if we wish to learn, if we truly wish for life everlasting and perfect unity with the sum of all good. Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect, we are all called to holiness, in some way or form consecrated lives that do not follow the ebbs and flows of changeable and perishable world.

The Church's teachings and teachers should help people grow in holiness, not acclimate them to a dying world and needs of the flesh. Why risk peoples souls like that, unless secular happiness in this life is your only goal.
