The Church explicitly forbids, under pain of mortal sin, all forms of premarital or extramarital sex, masturbation, oral or anal sex, contraception and abortion, coitus interruptus and homosexual acts.
.. and this from somewhere else ...
These beliefs are grounded in their concept of natural law. The church once taught that the sole purpose of sex -- and marriage -- was procreation. They have modified this stance in recent decades by admitting that also has a unitive function; it bonds married couples closer together and strengthens their relationship. But, since the Church still regards the main purpose of sex to be procreation, they insist that any ethical sexual act must be open to conception. On this basis, they forbid the use of artificial methods of birth control, and consider any sexual behavior other than intercourse between a husband and wife to be a grave moral sin. Forbidden practices include masturbation, pre-marital sex, post-marital sex, extra-marital sex and all same-sex behaviors.
It says here that the church once taught it, and no longer do, however, they have never officially stated that fact.
Post all the crap you wish to "google" for. You're still wrong.
The Catholic church does not require it's members to be celibate.
Exactly....what will the church do....kick every member out. :dry:

Re: Vatican plan to block gay priests
" .... they insist that any ethical sexual act must be open to conception."
is not the same as
"So, sex only between married couples in the act of conception."
See it's in the words "open to" is not the same as "in the act of".
The Catholic Church does not teach that it's members must be celibate other than to procreate.
Is http://www.religioustolerance.org/hom_rom.htm an official Catholic doctrine website, I only wonder as you appear to have used it a a source for the Catholic Church's teachings.

So I take it that there is no sin by members of the Catholic Church. What's the point of church then? :dry:
