Your Questions About Sex In Marriage And The Catholic Church

In a catholic marriage, is there such a thing as indecent sex?

If you’re catholic and married in the Catholic Church and follow and believe all of Its teachings, are there things you shouldn’t do sexually?
For ex, give your husband a lap dance (hahaha), would something like this be innapropriate?

What does the Catholic Church view as sex?

I’ve been wondering this for a while, and I’ve never found a clear answer anywhere. I’m sure I could ask my parents, or the nuns at my school, or the priests in my parish, but that would be beyond awkward.

So what does the Church see as “sex“? Just normal intercourse? Or what about anal or oral sex, is that okay before marriage?

I’d really like to know what the Catholic Church defines as sex. If anyone could help me out, it’d be great. Thanks so much! :]

Why are you against same-sex marriage? Can someone please give a non-biblical/religious reason?

I have to be honest, the only reason I’m not agreeing with same-sex marriage is because of the Catholic church. It’s one of those things that I just put my trust in my faith.

Although, deep down, I can’t see why the government would not recognized two consenting adults living together by giving the benefits of marriage and acknowledging the union? I don’t feel that such a union will affect neither me nor anyone not involve in such a union, so why should I be against it?

How can same-sex marriage harm the family? Can’t children be taught that same-sex couples do exist and it is not necessarily right or wrong? Parents can always tell their kids that their religion is against it BUT it is okay for other people.

For those who are okay with same-sex marriage, please, I understand your argument about tolerance and equality. I just want to ask those who are against same-sex marriage what reason they can give outside religion.

By the way, I’m referring to the marriage recognized by the government. Of course churches has the right to be pro or against same-sex marriage in their church.

It’s just that most churches are against same-sex civil marriage.

Why do people say that the Catholic Church is outdated?

I’ll list five of the main problems: Sex before marriage, Abortion, The use of condoms to prevent STDs, Homosexuality and The Rape Scandals. If you don’t bother reading this, then don’t bother complaining.

1)It’s just plain murder. And it’s not only Catholics that are against this. I know a few atheists that are anti-abortion as well. It isn’t violating human rights to stop abortion, and the Catholic Church has no problem with abortion if the mother’s life is at risk. Anyways, saying that if it isn’t legalized, that it would be done in dangerous matter is bull, because that means we have to legalize murder as well. Also, it isn’t “her body, her choice” it’s the baby’s body, NOT HERS. Anyways, who do we have a right to say that someone doesn’t deserve to live or not. Like it or not, all life is sacred, and no one has the right to end it. Anyways, the mother should have thought more before having sex.

2)You may not know this, but the Catholic Church disapproves marriage without sex just as must as sex before marriage. One of the main reasons for this is simple; if you are married you are (or at least, you should be) ready to go through any experience with your life partner, and that includes any unexpected pregnancies. If you say “It doesn’t mean that they stay together for life”. Well, that’s because the couple in question got married too soon, or didn’t pay attention to the weeding vows, which meant that you stay together for life, no matter what life throws at you. There isn’t that kind of commitment in pre marriage sex, and if the girl got pregnant, they guy could just leave her. If you truly followed your wedding vows, that wouldn’t happen. Also, sex is only meant for reproduction purposes, not just pleasure. And using the argument that animals do it is pathetic. Does that mean we have to LIVE like animals? Kinda defeats the purpose of civilization, doesn’t it?

3)OK, the Catholic Church allowed condoms ONLY to prevent STDs now. Happy? However, it still bans it to prevent pregnancy.

4)Sorry, but that’s the way it is. It says in the Bible that homosexuality is a horrendous sin. It’s in all Christian Churches (or it should be, if they follow the Bible at all), so there. Also, here’s a paragraph about it that I picked up; 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,141 tradition has always declared that “homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered.”142 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. Under no circumstances can they be approved”

5)I agree that it’s horrible that the priests who did it aren’t in jail, but that isn’t a reason why the Catholic Church should be outlawed. It’s like saying that England should be destroyed because a tiny majority of people commit murders and they don’t get long enough in jail. It just needs to change it’s rules a little bit, and it can be done. Before, the Church was totally against the Bible being translated, and the mass was conducted with the Priest saying Latin prayers with his back to the people. It’s pretty different now, and it doesn’t contradict any of the Catholic rules.
Book of Myths? And YOUR prove for that is……?
Also, what’s the problem with what I said here? There is nothing about the Catholic Church That still can’t work. If you still think it’s out of date, EXPLAIN WHY. Also, I firmly believe in the Catholic Church. I don’t need any Atheists to tell me what to believe. That goes to all Catholics in my community, and around the world.
FGS, OF COURSE, IF A RAPIST IMPREGNATED A WOMEN, THEN SHE CAN HAVE AN ABORTION!
Also, the Catholic Church can change. It has done it before, and it can do it again. I think that Atheists are bullying Christians, and yet you say that we bully gays…..I mean, if you are against us so much, then isn’t that hypocrisy? You need to realize this; We don’t care if you think we are wrong. Atheists make up a 3% minority, and you are shouting way too loud. Just keep quiet, and let US decide what is right.
King Henry VIII? Isn’t he the guy that created a new religion because he wanted a divorce, and then tried to kill all Catholics in England? I hope that he is still burning away in hell.
