  3. SEXUAL MORALITY

  4. Controversial Issues • Sex outside of marriage • Artificial contraception • Homosexuality • Artificial insemination • Genetic manipulation

  5. Mistaken Attitudes about Sex • Hedonist • Prude

  6. #1 Hedonist … the aim is all about bodily pleasure, self-gratification and physical thrills

  7. #2 Prude … sex is considered nasty and degrading, an evil that saddles us. Private parts are considered bad and shameful

  8. Because sex is the handiwork of God, sex is by its nature something good, something sacred and holy. It is only when sex is torn from its holy framework of marriage and potential parenthood do evil enter in.

  9. VIRTUE OF CHASTITY … requires an integration of sexuality within his/her person and self-mastery and control of his/her passions

  10. CCC 2337 2337Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person and thus the inner unity of man in his bodily and spiritual being.

  11. CCC 2339 2339 Chastity includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom.

  12. SEX EDUCATION The Holy Father John Paul II states in Familiaris Consortio: “The right and duty of parents to give education is essential since it is connected with the transmission of human life; it is original and primary with regard to the educational roles of others, on account of the uniqueness of the loving relationship between parents and children; and it is irreplaceable and inalienable, and therefore incapable of being entirely delegated to others or usurped by others.”

  13. “The Church is firmly opposed to an often widespread form of imparting sex information dissociated from moral principles... Sex education, which is a basic right and duty of parents, must always be carried out under their attentive guidance whether at home or in educational centers chosen and controlled by them.” (Familiaris Consortio, 6, 37)

  14. SEXUAL GUIDELINES • Outside marriage • Within marriage

  15. Outside marriage … sex outside of marriage is a grave sin

  16. CCC 2390 2390 … The sexual act must take place exclusively within marriage. Outside of marriage it always constitutes a grave sin and excludes one from sacramental communion.  

  17. Within marriage… the spouses do nothing evil in seeking the pleasure and enjoyment of sex but they should keep themselves within the limits of just moderation

  18. CCC 2362 2362  “The acts in marriage by which the intimate and chaste union of the spouses takes place are noble and honorable; the truly human performance of these acts fosters the self-giving they signify and enriches the spouses in joy and gratitude.” Sexuality is a source of joy and pleasure: The Creator himself . . . established that in the [generative] function, spouses should experience pleasure and enjoyment of body and spirit. Therefore, the spouses do nothing evil in seeking this pleasure and enjoyment. They accept what the Creator has intended for them. At the same time, spouses should know how to keep themselves within the limits of just moderation.

  19. SINS AGAINST CHASTITY • Fornication • Adultery • Masturbation • Pornography • Prostitution • Rape • Homosexual acts

  20. Fornication … carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman

  21. CCC 2353 2353 Fornication is carnal union between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman…

  22. Adultery … it violates the right of the other spouse, injures marriage bond and compromises the welfare of the children

  23. CCC 2381 2381 Adultery is an injustice. • He who commits adultery fails in his commitment. • He does injury to the sign of the covenant which the marriage bond is, transgresses the rights of the other spouse,  and undermines the institution of marriage by breaking the contract on which it is based. • He compromises the good of human generation and the welfare of children who need their parents‘ stable union.

  24. Masturbation … deriving sexual pleasure outside the marital act

  25. CCC 2352 2352 By masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. "Both the Magisterium of the Church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely disordered action." "The deliberate use of the sexual faculty, for whatever reason, outside of marriage is essentially contrary to its purpose." For here sexual pleasure is sought outside of "the sexual relationship which is demanded by the moral order and in which the total meaning of mutual self-giving and human procreation in the context of true love is achieved." 

  26. CCC 2354 (Pornography) 2354 Pornography consists in removing real or simulated sexual acts from the intimacy of the partners, in order to display them deliberately to third parties…

  27. CCC 2355 (Prostitution) 2355 Prostitution does injury to the dignity of the person who engages in it, reducing the person to an instrument of sexual pleasure…

  28. CCC 2356(Rape) 2356 Rape is the forcible violation of the sexual intimacy of another person…

  29. CCC 2357 (Homosexual Acts) 2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity, tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered. "They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. 

  30. Church’s stand on homosexuality • must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. • There is nothing wrong in having homosexual desire or orientation.

  31. CCC 2358 2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for most of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided. These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

  32. Church’s stand on homosexual acts What is sinful is acting out one’s homosexual desire i.e. engaging in homosexual act. It is intrinsically disordered.

  33. Genesis 19:4–5 & 12-13 • 4 Before they went to bed, all the townsmen of Sodom, both young and old—all the people to the last man—closed in on the house. • 5 They called to Lot and said to him, “Where are the men who came to your house tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intimacies with them.”

  34. 1 Corinthians6:9-10 • 9 … Do not be deceived; neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers nor boy prostitutes nor practicing homosexuals • 10 … inherit the kingdom of God.

  35. Romans1:26-27 • 26 … God handed them over to degrading passions. Their females exchanged natural relations for unnatural, • 27 and the males likewise gave up natural relations with females and burned with lust for one another. Males did shameful things with males and thus received in their own persons the due penalty for their perversity. • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Board of Trustees, Catholic Church.

  36. 1 Timothy1:9-10 • 9 with the understanding that law is meant not for a righteous person but for the lawless and unruly, the godless and sinful, the unholy and profane, those who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers, • 10 the unchaste, practicing homosexuals, † kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching, • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.

  37. Two (2) National Organizations of Homosexuals • Courage – an organization to support each other to live in chastity • Dignity – an organization to promote justification and recognition of a homosexual lifestyle.

  38. Why marriage should only be between a man and a woman …

  39. Genesis1:27-28 • 27 God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; male and female he created them. • 28 God blessed them, saying: “Be fertile and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and all the living things that move on the earth.” • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine. Board of Trustees, Catholic Church.

  42. Matthew5:27-28 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.  • Confraternity of Christian Doctrine.
