What does the Democratic Party think about traditional marriage?
Generally, most Democratic party members who are married are in traditional marriages and are supportive of traditional marriage. But Democrats realize that families come in many forms and do not limit the idea of marriage to traditional sexual boundaries. Because certain governmental and societal benefits accrue to the historical "traditional marriage" Democrats are not people who object to other forms of marriage that are sought by large numbers of nontraditional supporters. As a result of this expanded vision Democrats are generally in support of gay marriage rights.
Do Democrats disagree on gay rights?
Most Democrats believe in gay rights and believe in protecting gays against discrimination, most are firmly against the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy (which ironically was signed by a Democrat). But Democrats are split in their beliefs on gay marriage. Although most Democrats don't want there to be an amendment that defines marriage as between a man and woman, some of those same Democrats don't want gay marriage made legal mostly due to religious reasons. Practically all Demcrats support civil unions for gays.

Why are Catholics normally Democrats?
I would say they aren't normally Democrats now, or at least they shouldn't register as Democrats. Catholics are required to oppose abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, and same-sex marriage, all of which are now supported by the Democratic party. Many Catholics were Democrats from the late 1800s up to the 1970s, however. This was because the majority of Catholics in America were Irish immigrants, who were deeply in love with democracy, having come from a place where they had faced the complete absence of it. So, until the above moral issues arose with the Democratic party, many Catholics were free to be Democrats if they wished.
