Society and Ethics: Roman Catholic Moral Theology

"To be moral, each and every sexual act must be unitive, procreative, and marital. The good moral object of every moral sexual act is threefold: unitive, procreative, and marital. All non-unitive sexual acts are intrinsically evil, due to the deprivation of the unitive meaning in the moral object. All non-procreative acts are intrinsically evil, due to the deprivation of the procreative meaning in the moral object. All non-marital sexual acts are intrinsically evil, due to the deprivation of the marital meaning in the moral object." The Catechism of Catholic Ethics, n. 280.
