For one thing, it would trigger a counterproductive anti-Catholic backlash. And the whole “mortal sin” thing just doesn’t cut it with people these days anyway. Mortal sins run the gamut from first degree murder to missing Sunday Mass.

There are all kinds of other reasons I could think of to not do it, but ultimately I don’t think it would have any positive practical effect.
