Sorry, no pornography on these pages (in case anyone was looking!), but you are welcome to stay and read about the Church's teachings on sexuality.

The Church's teaching on human love and sexuality is one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented aspects of the Catholic faith. The following articles are dedicated to destroying old myths and stereotypes which continue to dog the Faith.

• FAQ: Sexuality and the Catholic Church.

• What God Says about Sex in Sacred Scripture.

• The Catechism of the Catholic Church on Human Sexuality (external links)

  * Part I, from the St. Charles Borromeo site or the Christus Rex website.
  * Part II, from the St. Charles Borromeo site or the Christus Rex website.

• The Bridegroom and the Bride.

• Prayers for a Balanced Sexuality.

• Recommended Books, CD's and Tapes on Human Sexuality

• Not all Sexual Intercourse is Sin, by Saint Thomas Aquinas. (offsite)

• The Bride of God: Background.
• Mary as the Bride of God in Catholic Theology.
• Mary as the Bride of Priests.
• Significance of the Image.

Finally, see the article Is the Body Evil? for a related discussion. It does not say much about sexuality, but it addresses the idea that Christianity vilifies the human body, and this certainly relates to the Christian attitude toward sexuality.
