For over a millennium the RCC didn't consider slavery or pederasty immoral and yet few things are more immoral than raping children and human trafficking. The problem with basing your morality on a centuries old book that can't be edited is there's no avenue of appeal when things fail to pass the sniff test. So this simply means it takes centuries for the church to evolve on social issues and during that time there will be no shortage of people who will continue to use the church as a moral authority for acceptance of things that are truly evil.
