IV. Offenses Against the Dignity of Marriage
The
expression covers a number of different situations: concubinage, rejection of
marriage as such, or inability to make long-term commitments.182 All
these situations offend against the dignity of marriage; they destroy the very
idea of the family; they weaken the sense of fidelity. They are contrary to the
moral law. the sexual act must take place exclusively within marriage. Outside
of marriage it always constitutes a grave sin and excludes one from sacramental
communion.
