The following comes from chapter 6 of the book my catholic morals! It is recommended that, for a full understanding on the churchs teaching on sexuality, this entire chapter be read. 2352 by masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. Both the magisterium of the church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have been in no doubt and have firmly maintained that masturbation is an intrinsically and gravely. The catechism of the catholic church (ccc) has this to say about masturbation by masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual. As the catechsim of the catholic church makes clear, masturbation may not be a mortal sin if the extenuating circumstances identified in the catechism are found, by a competent moral guide, who has a well-formed conscience, to be present in the life of one who has masturbated. To answer this, let us look, first of all, at the churchs teaching. In 1975, the congregation for the doctrine of the faith issued a declaration on certain problems of sexual ethics, and it is this document that the catechism of the catholic church quotes regarding this issue. Both the magisterium of the church, in the course of a constant tradition, and the moral sense of the faithful have. The coptic orthodox church views masturbation as a sin because it is regarded as a form of sexual pleasure outside of gods design. In the catechism of the catholic church, the catholic church teaches by masturbation is to be understood the deliberate stimulation of the genital organs in order to derive sexual pleasure. catholic theologians are divided into camps on masturbation, marriage and other church teachings. Masturbation is not made moral or lawful within marriage or the marriage act. i can say, however, that if you acknowlege the catholic church, but simply trust your own moral stance on a grave issue such as masturbation and continue to engage in such acks, you are commiting something that is grave matter and it will be a mortal sin if you have full knowlege of it.
