What are the problems with popular Catholic apologetics today?

Catholic apologetics is like any human endeavor: some people know things, some know more, some have a good heart but not the tools because they have not studied enough or have been prejudiced against certain positions. But a deeper problem is that many popular Catholic apologists came out of Protestantism, having passed through several churches, and they feel they have arrived at Nirvana in the Catholic Church because we all agree on the basics, baptism, the Eucharist, the sacraments, purgatory, hell. But on the complicated personal issues, contraception, in vitro fertilization, natural family planning, they are all over the map. The biggest problem is that the Church herself has become fuzzy and not definitive. We have the two-tier problem created after 1870, where doctrines not declared infallible, like Humanae Vitae, are treated by many as optional, even though Lumen Gentium 25 says we owe assent to the pope's authoritative teaching even when it is not infallible. We have geocentrism, one of the most staunchly taught doctrines, condemned heliocentrism as heresy under two popes and Alexander VII, now rejected by almost the whole hierarchy without any official reversal. We have Amoris Laetitia, the change on capital punishment, and the ambiguity over whether Ordinatio Sacerdotalis was infallible, and even admissions that Vatican II documents were written with liberal paragraphs answered by conservative ones. So the Catholic apologist loves his church and wants to serve it, but he is left trying to sort out a Church that needs to reform itself and teach without equivocation, and until then the apologists will be all over the map.
