Re: "Offenses against chastity"
"Sexual pleasure is morally disordered when sought for itself, isolated from its
- PROCREATIVE and
- UNIVITIVE purposes." (CCC # 2351)
Re: "The fecundity of marriage"
"... the Church, which is 'on the side of life' (Pope John Paul II [1981] Familiaris consortio # 30], teaches that 'it is necessary that each and every marraige act remain ordered per se to the PROCREATION of human life' (Pope Paul VI, Humanae Vitae # 11). 'This particular doctrine, expounded on numerous occasions by the Magisterium, is based on the inseparable connection, established by God, which man on his own initiative may not break, between the
- UNITIVE significance and the
- PROCREATIVE significance which are
both inherent to the marriage act' (Humanae Vitae # 12; cf. Pius XI, Enc. Casti connubii.) (CCC # 2366)
