(Why) Is masturbation a mortal sin ??!! "Where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty." 2 Cor. 3:17
ANSWER! / COMMENT!
Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraph 2396. "Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices."
The Catholic Church teaches that sexual intimacy is a gift to be shared by a married couple, it has a unifying principle and a procreative principle.
Masturbation does not unite you to another person and their is NO potential for human life.
