No it doesn't because *official* church doctrine is totally meaningless when there's no action to back up the words.
The Catholic church shows what it TRULY believes by what it does, not by what it claims, just like everyone else in the world.
And if the Catholic church truly opposes the decadence of the world, it would deal with pederast priests, it would stop condoning the world system by advocating for church enforced socialism by secular governments, it would stop serving communion to the likes of Pelosi, Kerry, Biden etc, and stop giving Catholic funerals to the likes of Kennedy and Chavez.
Talk is cheap and the Catholic church is doing NOTHING to stem the tide of liberalism and socialism that are overtaking this world.
Salt is supposed to make a difference and all we see within the Catholic church is the same rot that's overtaking the rest of the world.

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?
If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?
-- James 2:14-15
Thats like saying the Constitution is a living document. No matter what people say, do, enact, the concept of United States outlined by the Constitution remains. The Catholic Church is the same -- Even were there no faith left on earth (Lk 18:8), the truth contained in the deposit of faith remains the truth.
