Overview

In a world where modern culture treats sexuality as a theme park for adults instead of as a gift given to man and woman to share in the context of love and marriage, the Catholic Church remains steadfast in its work as steward of Christ’s teachings and continues to guide the world in the truths of human sexuality. In 101 Quick Questions with Catholic Answers: Sexuality, Catholic Answers’ staff apologist Peggy Frye presents a sort of “greatest hits” of questions on sexuality and, in the process, covers a great deal of ground on this often complex and always contentious portion of Church teaching. Serving as a simple introduction to the Catholic truths on the subject of human sexuality, this book will be your secret weapon against what Pope Benedict XIV calls the “tyranny of relativism” as Frye and company show you why the Church teaches so strongly about the procreative powers.

In 101 Quick Questions with Catholic Answers: Sexuality, you’ll learn:

• The dos and don’ts of both Catholic and non-Catholic weddings
• The truth about prenuptial agreements
• The Church’s prudential teachings on mixed marriages
• The distinctions between a valid marriage and a sacramental marriage
• The proper context of human sexuality and procreation (otherwise known as marriage)
• The clear distinction between divorce and annulment
• And much more

Top Highlights

“To have sexual feelings for one’s spouse or to enjoy sexual pleasure with one’s spouse is fine and according to God’s design. But to use one’s spouse as an object of pleasure without concern for the spouse can be mortally sinful.” (Page 6)

“Although you have a duty to follow your conscience, you have a prior duty to form your conscience well” (Page 12)

“Deliberately frustrating the procreative aspect of a sexual act creates a condition that makes self-giving only partial and reduces the spouse, in some degree, to a pleasure object used for selfish purposes. Thus, marital love must be exclusive, unconditional, permanent, and open to life.” (Page 5)

“It cannot be the expression of love, since it consists of taking pleasure for oneself alone. Masturbation takes genital activity out of its proper context and makes it a selfish act.” (Page 17)

“in the sexual act, man and woman implicitly give themselves totally to one another” (Page 4)
