Catholics beleifs on relationships

Question 1

Contraceptions

Answer 1

Catholics believe that when a man and a woman have sex there should be no contraceptions, e.g condom, pills and many others are not allowed. Contraceptions are not allowed because sex should be procreative (being able to give life) not for pleasure. Catholics only agree with natural family planning.

Question 2

Same gender marriages and sex

Answer 2

The same gender can’t get married because in the wedding vows you have to say you will bring up a child. Also the same gender can’t procreate. So catholics believe if you are gay you should be celibate (not have sex)

Procreate
