IV. Offenses Against the Dignity of Marriage
2380
Adultery refers to marital infidelity. When two partners, of whom at least one
is married to another party, have sexual relations – even transient ones – they
commit adultery. Christ condemns even adultery of mere desire.170 The
sixth commandment and the New Testament forbid adultery absolutely.171
The prophets denounce the gravity of adultery; they see it as an image of the
sin of idolatry.172
