Quick takeaways

Contraception is viewed as a blasphemous act that contradicts the natural purpose of genitals and communicates a false message about God's love.

Masturbation is seen as a selfish act that disintegrates the individual's physical and spiritual being.

Non-marital sex trains individuals to lie with their bodies' language and hinders their ability to love and be a gift to their future spouse.

Cohabitation is anti-marital behavior that pretends to be married, goes against the purpose of sex, and prepares individuals for divorce.

Deep dives

Contraception and Body Language

Contraception is seen as a blasphemous act that goes against the natural purpose of genitals, which is to generate new life. It is considered a bodily mutilation and a contradiction of the sacramental symbolism of the sexual act. Changing the physicality of the fertility renders the act sterile and communicates a false message about God's life-giving love.
