Even the individuals who are supposed to exemplify the doctrines of the Catholic Church stray from the constriction of the Catholic Church. It does not make sense that these people are role models for other Catholic religious leaders and they can't even abide by such a significant religious doctrine. This inconsistency in the church may arouse questions of the Catholic Churches credibility with their own policies.
