Unfortunately our church has become an organ for spreading bad news instead of the good news that Christ taught. Learning to follow Christ is not meant to be the present-day mine field  the Magisterium has created.
Our professional religious instructors need to devolve back to the teaching method employed by Jesus but adapted to modern times. After all, Christianity is not about "doing away with the old law but fulfilling it." In other words, Christianity is not about establishing a new set of laws but to teach/learn a new way of living.
