"Church officials explained that the marriage service can be offered to couples who cannot have children"
Same outcome - getting your tubes tied is also against the Catholic faith as are all "unnatural" forms of birth control. The reason for all this is that it's the Catholic view that the primary purpose of sex is the propagation of the species and the expression of deep love. The distant secondary purpose is pleasure between two loving couples. Not saying it's right or wrong, just explaining the "why."

I'd argue that ultra-fundamentalist Christians do worse, but that's just my opinion.
