In a specific way and in an increasingly worrying way, we perceive a loss of the meaning and the significance of sexuality, in general, and of conjugal and familial sexuality, in particular. One need only think of free and ‘de facto’ cohabitations placed on the same level as ‘de iu,e’ marriages, the increase in divorce. the civil legalisation of gay marriages with the right to adopt children, and even more topical, the discussion, so many times in a way that does not correspond to scientific truth and even less to ethical criteria, of assisted procreation. cloning and the use of frozen embryos for therapeutic purposes and so forth. Faced with this situation, and in the light of the final document of the tenth congress of the FEAMC held in Bratislava,3 it seemed to me to be useful to present certain key points of the teaching of the Catholic Church on conjugal sexuality. First of all I will stress how the human body is the summit of created matter. Then I will clarify some characteristics of conjugal sexuality. From there I will go on to the third point: an absolute ‘no’ to divorce and a relative ‘yes’ to annulment. Lastly, as a fourth point, I will clarify the two inseparable meanings of the conjugal act, the proper, specific and exclusive expression of conjugal love.
