The Church is not a democracy nor is she a public institution to which the First Amendment applies -- she is a private association whose whole raison d'etre is what she considers to be divinely-revealed truth. As such, the Church has every right to expect those who participate in her activities to accept what the Church teaches. In a free society, the Church has every right to do this. No one is forced to be Catholic and if they don't support Catholic teaching, they are free to go elsewhere.
