I know you think you're saying something significant or important when you throw around words like "dissident." You aren't. Today's dissident is tomorrow's cardinal (e.g., Henri de Lubac). The word is meaningless. Cardinal Burke is a dissident. Do you want to throw him out?
<Who cares what dissident Catholics think?>
Catholics forming and following their own consciences, as adults are required to do, are not dissidents; they're merely Catholics.
<The Church is not a democracy.>
But it could be; it can constitute its government in any fashion that works best at a given time and place. The way the church is organized and governed today owes more to the Roman Empire than to the New Testament. It's time, and past time, to consider whether a medieval structure is appropriate for the twenty-first century. 
<Jesus seemed pretty clear .... Ever hear of the rich man and Lazarus?>
Good point. Where does he say that masturbation or contraception can send you to hell?
