If the Catholic Church wants to change its rules, why should that matter to non-Catholics?

Reporters and commentators are in the news business. If an institution with a large following, such as the Catholic Church, opts to change its rules, that's news and should be reported reported to the general public. It's of general interest to the public, and it's of specific interest to all those lapsed Catholics out there who are interested parties but not on the Church's mailing list. If such an institution is twisting it's rules or evolving them rather than directly changing them, that's even bigger news. Corruption in our cultural institutions is of general interest. The Church is no different from the United Way.
