Lesson 32

Offenses against Chastity and Marital Love, Part 2

The sins of pornography, prostitution, rape, the use of contraception, and abortion offend the unitive and procreative purposes of marriage and diminish the goods of marital love.

Lesson Vocabulary

  • Abortion
    :
    The direct and intentional termination of a pregnancy. An abortion results in the death of an innocent unborn child and is gravely sinful. It not only offends the procreative purpose of marriage, but also violates the Fifth Commandment, “You shall not kill.” Christians have a responsibility to work and pray for a just society that respects the life of all people, from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death. (2322, 2323)
  • Contraception
    :
    Any action taken by a man and woman engaging in sexual relations that actively and intentionally is contrary to conception or prevents the conception of a child. It is a sinful action that offends both the unitive and procreative purposes of marriage. (2399)
