How much of a practical issue for Catholics is the status of other Churches ? As much of an issue as Humanae Vitae was ? Less, probably - yet people have managed to ignore that; so this will probably be of even less practical importance.
I think the “practical issue” here is the flack that Catholics will get from either, a) fallen away Catholics, or b) non-Catholics over this issue. It is difficult for some people not to give way to doubt in the face of questions.
