No.
The Catholic Church believes that God himself is the author of marriage and has created it for one man and one woman.
The Church further teaches that being homosexual is not a sin but that all single people (heterosexual and homosexual) are called to celibacy.
What civil governments decide to do is up to their citizens and the constitution of the country.
But the Church has a commission from Jesus Christ to "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, ... teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
In obedience to this command, the Church has been telling world governments what it believes is right and wrong since the time of the Romans.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
About marriage, section 1601 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt3art7.htm
About homosexuality. section 2357 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2357
With love in Christ.

Not in the least. Roman Catholics believe marriage can only take place between a man and a woman. In fact, I don't think they support homosexuality AT ALL! they don't seem to mind raping small children (of BOTH genders, might I add. Yes, male priests rape little BOYS... hmm... malexmale.... the priest bashes on himself...?) though, considering how many Roman Catholic priests have caught for sexual child abuse within the last century!

If it replaced into as much as the Catholic Church society might nevertheless be contained in the Bronze a while. If it replaced into as much as the Catholic Church women human beings might nevertheless be required to be contained in the kitchen. undergo in ideas all prepared religions are approximately controlling the a lot and hindering/combating any and all varieties of social and scientific progression that it would not believe. It took the Catholic Church 500 years to confess they have been incorrect for putting Galileo decrease than residing house arrest

No and they are against birth control so if you are catholic then you should pop out 12 or more kids in an overpopulated world.
