TW, dude, that's just not how the Roman Catholic Church works by its definition. It is not a democracy. If the people want the kind of change you are saying, they are going to have to jump ship and make their own religion. If they disagree so much then they are in the wrong place.
It was until about 100 years ago when Pius12th IIRC, before he was pope, started writing cannon law. That's when the power of the church was moved from the people to the pope.
