IT’S ALL ABOUT A COVENANT — THE GLUE THAT BONDS

Catholic teachings on sexuality are based on the biblical notion of covenant: A man and woman enter a permanent, faithful, and hopefully fruitful covenant of marriage. So, too, marriage is often a metaphor that describes the covenant relationship between God and the Hebrew people and between Jesus Christ and His Church. The sign of that marriage covenant between two people is licit sexual activity that honors and respects each as a human person and doesn’t treat either one as a mere sex object or tool for personal use. Animals have sex out of instinct to perpetuate the species, but human beings have the use of reason and free will, which makes humankind “in the image and likeness of God” (Genesis 1:27). Unlike animals, humans can choose when, with whom, and why to have sex.
