Any organized religion will by it's very nature be resistant to change. Nowadays that means social rather than scientific (for the most part) issues. They'll catch up eventually, as they usually do (though sometimes not), but what's not acceptable is when that resistance to change has a directly negative impact on people's health and wellbeing.

Suffice it to say, I'm not a tremendous fan of organized religion for pretty much that reason alone.
