"Strict dress codes are especially adhered to at St. Peter's, so I wouldn't even try to enter wearing short skirts, shorts, or sleeveless tops. You will be refused entrance. Again, no shorts, or sleeveless tops, but it’s okay to wear jeans. In case you haven't been foresighted enough to carry additional apparel with you and you happen to be at the Vatican wearing inappropriate clothes you can still buy disposable pants and/or t-shirts and scarves on sale in the souvenir shops just outside St. Peter's. In addition to all of this keep in mind that during your visit to the Vatican you'll be in a sovereign country regulated by it's own rules, where the laws of Italy or your own country do not apply! No smoking anywhere in the Vatican!"
Does anyone find it interesting that Catholics and vistors DO NOT seem to have a problem with complying with Catholic dress code in the Vatican, but Apostolics seem to question ALL dress standards?

Not at all. They are not being told to dress that way to obtain/maintain salvation. This is similar to the comparison that many in my profession are expected to wear certain attire and the courts actually insist upon it. I am free to go or not go my eternal salvation is not dependant upon it.
