    Now that I think about it, the Finnish Apostolic Lutherans are both anti-alcohol and anti-birth control. Also, women are forbidden to wear pants and cut their hair(doubtless, some traditional Orthodox would support these two items).

Because you see, God can do anything, and the Church, by divine authority, uh, can do anything, but, the Church doesn't want to - and that's a legitimate reason.
