The Catholic heirarchy will be happy to tell you that consistently.
Catholic religious are…not the same thing, and substantially more diverse.
(Source: been Catholic approximately my whole life, and known quite a few religious, having spent a long time in a parish run by an order, and some more time regularly attending and volunteering in a retreat center run by a different order.)
To correct myself, actually, relevant to the instant article, no, even they won't. Because choosing neither heterosexual love nor family in the usual sense (or, for that matter, even the sense that religious communities are a kind of family, as both lay committed celibacy and eremetic life, both private and consecrated, are recognized vocations) is very much an option, even to the heirarchy.
They hierarchy is fairly certain to say romantic love and family are a moral option only within a committed, exclusive, heterosexual context, though.
The Catholic position is grounded in natural law theory. The telos of the sexual organs is essentially procreative; deny the procreative end and sex becomes incomprehensible. To use sexual organs in a manner that _intentionally_ works against their end is to intentionally frustrate their end. To intentionally thwart the operation of your faculties and misuse them is immoral and therefore contradicts one's fulfillment and actualization as a human being.
Calling people cattle for living in accordance with the procreative end of sexual intercourse, which is the ultimate end of sexual intercourse, is nasty, if not irrational. Before you do so, I suggest you acquaint yourself[0] with the actual position held and defended by the Catholic Church.

This is a straw man assertion…
The church is perfectly fine with promiscuity, artificial insemination, sterilization etc. among cattle or pets.
The same behaviors they tell humans are immoral, because they think humans aren’t just cattle.
