Huh? When did the Catholic Church repeal Humanae Vitae? AFAIK, oral sex
is considered a form of contraception. Oral stimulation leading to sexual
intercourse is a different matter.

In the eyes of the Church, 'intent' reigns. If one is engaging in oral sex
with
the specific intent of preventing procreation, then the Church would
consider it
wrong.

If the intent of the oral sex is mutual stimulation, an expression of
love, a
desire to try something new, or any other reason, except as mentioned
above,
then it is not wrong - for a man and wife.

With all due respect John, you are wrong. The Catholic Church never
condoned oral sex.

The sole purpose of sex according to the Church is procreation, with birth
control during a woman's period.

Are you Catholic?


With respect JimH, the Catholic Church most certainly condones any sexual act
between a man and a wife as long as the specific intent is *not* to prevent
procreation.

Yes, I am Catholic and have spent several hours discussing this very matter with
priests who were my teachers.

Now, I'll admit that these talks occurred many years ago, but I don't think the
Church has changed with regard to what is legitimate between a man and a wife.
