Catechesis #29 - The 10 Commandments: The 7th Commandment - Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery (Part 1)

<p>In the first of a two-part series, we explore the <strong>Seventh Commandment: “Thou shalt not commit adultery.”</strong> Shifting the focus from mere prohibition to the positive duty of “temperance, soberness, and chastity,” the discussion grounds human sexuality in the created order of <strong>Genesis 2</strong>. By examining the “one-flesh” union, the sacramental nature of marriage, and St. Paul’s teaching on the body as a <strong>Temple of the Holy Spirit</strong>, we address how the Fall disordered our desires. This episode tackles the internal battle of the heart, the pervasive challenge of pornography, and the necessity of radical accountability—moving away from a culture of shame toward a life of transparency and union with Christ.</p><ul><li><strong>Theology of the Body (TOB) Institute:</strong> <a href="https://tobinstitute.org/" target="_blank">https://tobinstitute.org/</a> – A liberating vision of human identity, love, and union based on the teachings of St. John Paul II.</li><li><strong>Common Prayer Online:</strong> <a href="https://commonprayeronline.com" target="_blank">https://commonprayeronline.com</a> – Access the 1928 Book of Common Prayer daily offices, including Family Prayers and the Offices of Instruction.</li></ul>
