That itself would be hypocritical on the church's part. The church has it's own perception of morality based in the gospels that it's teachings must always adhere to. To frequently "alter it's stance" just because society tells it to, would be going against everything that makes Catholicism what is. If the church dies out... then so be it. It's extreme, but I'd rather my religion become irrelevant than to sacrifice what I truly believe are key moral values of the church. At least true Catholics will know that the religion remained faithful to it's own teachings. Being Catholic isn't about choosing what's most convenient to yourself. Maybe it's something only religious people understand. But in the end, all that matters is the relationship between an individual and their God.

But the Catholic Church is
already known for changing its stance on issues as it gains more knowledge over time! Here's one famous example:
During the seventeenth century, the Church's inquisitors tried Galileo for heresy because of his support of the scientific theory that the earth orbited around the sun, an idea that went against the Biblical teachings of the time. He was punished by house arrest for the remainder of his life.
Centuries later, the Church accepted that Galileo was right all along. Pope John Paul II said this in 1992:

Thanks to his intuition as a brilliant physicist and by relying on different arguments, Galileo, who practically invented the experimental method, understood why only the sun could function as the centre of the world, as it was then known, that is to say, as a planetary system. The error of the theologians of the time, when they maintained the centrality of the Earth, was to think that our understanding of the physical world's structure was, in some way, imposed by the literal sense of Sacred Scripture.

Eight years later, in 2000, the pope formally apologized on behalf of past pontiffs for mistakes committed by the Vatican, including the trial of Galileo.
