The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ, and, as such, teaches His Doctrine. As Our Blessed Lord and Savior did not see fit during His three years of teaching to cover the existence of dinosaurs, it is not covered in the Church's teaching. It may be covered by scientists and historians who happen to be Catholic, but it is not covered in revelation.

Not directly. The Catholic Church teaches the world the Good News of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ. Her official language is Latin, and many of her schools teach it, but the Church officially teaches prayer and the Gospel, not languages.
The Catholic allows the consumption of alcoholic beverages in moderation. Drunkenness is sinful.
It doesn't teach anything, a marriage is a marriage.
The Catholic Church teaches that we are stewards of God's creation, the earth, and are to care for it in a worthy manner. Please see the link below for more info.
The Catholic Church is in favor of Christian services, it provides them to all people. If you are asking about Church services, they are mainly celebrated by Religious Communities. The primary "service" in the protestant sense of the word, is the Eucharist, the Mass.
The Catholic Church does teach Catholics about being saved. To be saved, one must be in a state of grace, free from "mortal" sin (which cuts off one's friendship with God). The Catholic Church teaches that once you have been saved, you can lose your salvation by falling into a state of mortal sin, but also that even mortal sin can be forgiven, and salvation can be restored.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that contraception is morally wrong because it goes against the natural law and the purpose of marital love, which is to be open to the possibility of new life.
I'm sorry, I have been a Catholic for many decades, I spend years in the seminary, and I teach in a local parish and I have NEVER hear of "criteria" for the Catholic Church. Further, I cannot find it in any of my reference materials including The Catechism, several Catholic Dictionaries, and the Bible.
YesRoman Catholic Answerfrom The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994141 "The church has always venerated the divine Scriptures as she venerated the Body of the Lord" (Dei Verbum) 21): both nourish the govern the whole Christian life. "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Ps 119:105; cf. Isa 50:4).
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Catholic Church has no official teaching on the position of the planets, the Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ and is here to bring Our Blessed Lord to people, and people to God, through her preaching, her Sacraments, and her witness. In all matters of science, which are not matters of faith, she leaves that up to the scientists. Most of modern science has been founded by Catholic priests and monks.
