based on the teachings of the Catholic Church and our Founder, Jesus Christ, marriage is one man, one woman for life

i guess no one ever told the auther that polygamy was accepted practice in biblical times, I'm unaware of Christ condemming it anywhere

Accepted 'practice' by whom?

Ephesians
Chapter 5

31
"For this reason a man shall leave (his) father and (his) mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
32
This is a great mystery, but I speak in reference to Christ and the church.
33
In any case, each one of you should love his wife as himself, and the wife should respect her husband.

No mention of "wives" or "husbands".
