This can be found in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. There is no such thing as a 'cafeteria Catholic' as some people like to put it.

I know that you really don't want to hear this, but knowing what the Church teaches and going against it can be considered a heresy.
I guess most people in this part of the world aren't "really Catholic" as are a handful of missionaries in the developing world who are handing out condoms to AIDS devestated areas.
