Paragraph 2336

2336. Jesus came to restore creation to the purity of its origins. In the Sermon on the Mount, he interprets God’s plan strictly: “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that every one who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”122 What God has joined together, let not man put asunder.123

The tradition of the Church has understood the sixth commandment as encompassing the whole of human sexuality.
