I vehemetally disagree with you. So does the Bible and the Catechism as well as the Magesterium. It is a direct violation of the 6th commandment. Thou shall not commit adultry. Unless you have 1623 edition of the King James. Explain how masturbation doesn’t violate the 6th commandment.I think it`s a way to curb our passions
for the fact he uses “catholic” instead of Catholic says it all. “catholic” used in such a way can be a slander to “Catholics”To question the Cathechism does not speak well of your faith. Accept all of it, or call yourself something other than Catholic.

I am catholic & I will call myself catholic always. A lot of us catholics are confused about a lot of things we dont understand. We dont have to be scholars , & Know it alls like most on here. When I sin I go to confession & leave nothing out, I probably pray far more than the average person. The Catechism was put together by men, men make mistakes, also there are a lot of man made rules in The Church, But My pastor assures me that God loves me just the way I am , so what can I tell yaTo question the Cathechism does not speak well of your faith. Accept all of it, or call yourself something other than Catholic.
Your pastor is a Priest. Get it right. No we don’t have to be scholars, but we have to constantly be learning. There are no man made rules in the Church. Your user name and lack of respect to call your priest a priest instead of pastor makes me think that you are Methodists. Catholic is spelled “Catholic” and not “catholic” GET IT RIGHTI am catholic & I will call myself catholic always. A lot of us catholics are confused about a lot of things we dont understand.

The Magesrerium is infallible when it comes to faith or morals. This is a morals issue, and therefore the Catechism is not CAN NOT be wrong. If you feel the Catechism is wrong on this issue, then what makes it right on others? You sir, have put yourself in the place of the pope. I’m not saying God loves you any less. I’m just saying its time you submit to the authority of the Church. Its one thing to sin. It is quite another to label a sin as a virtue.I am catholic & I will call myself catholic always.

That’s a very weak explanation and untrue to boot. You will have to be either very limber or freakishly huge to be able to screw yourself.you are forgetting one major thing. When you masturbate you are having sex with someone other than a lawful spouse. You are screwing yourself
but masturbation is sexual pleasure and any sexual pleasure outside marriage is wrong.That’s a very weak explanation and untrue to boot. You will have to be either very limber or freakishly huge to be able to screw yourself.
Sexual intercourse is not the same as masturbation.

U have no Idea what is Between Me & The Lord, Each mans relationship is different, The Lord knows my heart, U dont. Also U people on this forum are great for twisting things around

And how does that equate to adultery? Is there another person involved?but masturbation is sexual pleasure and any sexual pleasure outside marriage is wrong.
You dont tell me to leave, this thread is about masturbation, not a sin, I happen to think its not a sin, but because the church says it is I abide by it, If I do masturbate which 9 out of 10 men do, I will confess it, I will not dare to approach the altar to receive, unless I have. also, there are about three forths of catholics who sit in church every week & are cafeteria catholics & they all go to the altar, How am i any worse them them. & U need to go to confession for the way U talk to peopleyes I can be a pain in the arse. Again “Catholicity” is the correct usage and “catholicity” is slanderous. If you think this forum is a joke, then leave.
