But CAN THEY GET MARRIED in a heterosexual relationship?

I guess I should have clarified. I am fully initiated into the Catholic Church, but I disagree with some of its teachings. For the sake of an example, man A is bisexual. He is in love with woman B, who is heterosexual. Will the church marry A and B? What if man A was in love and wished to marry man C, who was also bisexual? Would the church still frown upon this, even though both men are also attracted to females?

the Catholic church hates everyone equally...If they can't control them..they don't want them.

Created in the image of the one God and equally endowed with rational souls, all men have the same nature and the same origin. Redeemed by the sacrifice of Christ, all are called to participate in the same divine beatitude: all therefore enjoy an equal dignity.
The Catholic Church believes there is nothing sinful about being homosexual or bisexual. But homosexuals and unmarried bisexuals like all unmarried people are called to celibacy.
I do not see the Church blocking any marriage between a man and a woman just because one of them is bisexual.
The Church specifically says that homosexuals "must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided."
Here is the text of the document, On the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons (1986): http://www.newadvent.org/library/docs_df86ho.htm
With love in Christ.

I think it's kind of don't ask don't tell. Unless you say to the priest you're bisexual, he's not going to ask you. Therefore if two people of the opposite sex want to get married, they'll marry you. Doesn't matter if one or both of you are bi. The catholic church teaches that no sex outside of marriage is acceptable. And from what I have found in my years raised as a catholic is that they've convinced themselves that all "good catholics" stick to this ideal. I know they discuss sex in pre-cana classes (the classes you have to take before you can get married in the church). But I don't think they delve into past partners. They concentrate on how sex is important to a marriage. If they found out, I'm not sure if they'd pull out of doing the marriage. They can be very judgemental. That's why I had to get out.

The Roman Catholic church does not advocate any sexuality except that between one man and one woman in legal marriage. Even then, sex is to be used as a means of procreation and nothing more. While the Catholic church will allow gay and bisexual persons to worship, they attempt to impose a celibate life on those people who are unwilling or unable to exist in a man/woman legal marriage.
The Old Catholic Church, however, supports people of all sexual states of being and welcomes them into full and practicing membership in their congregations.

Catholics don't care about your sexual preferences.
But they do believe that having any kind of sex before marriage is wrong. They also believe that sex is only for the purpose of procreation. A man's seed is not supposed to be spilled anywhere but inside of his wife's vagina.
Sorry if this answer is too explicit, but this is what the Catholic church teaches.
They do allow a bisexual to get married, but only to someone of the opposite sex.

Two people, of the same sex, cannot marry in the Church. A man and a woman can be married by the Church. It's that simple.

Not if the bisexualtiy is known.
The reason is because a 'bisexual' presumably wants to continue having sex with others of the same gender. If they do, and perhaps even if they do NOT, it presents an impediment for marriage....the intent NOT to remain faithful to their spouse. That is grounds for an annulment.
The marriage would be invalid.

The Catholic church also does not believe there can be other points of view than its own.

Oh Lord, I totally agree with Da Ben Dan.. The Catholics are such judgmental people, I'm glad I don't know any of them personally.
