text: Editorial: Therefore, according to the catechism, all sex acts between married couples must be “ordered per se to the procreation of human life” (2366). 
  
  Which is a fatal flaw in the teaching of the catechism. All sex acts are not ordered to the procreation of human life; they can't be.  All married couples are infertile at some point.  Either they start that way or they become that way in the aging process. In addition, the female spouse is naturally infertile much of the time.  None of those sex acts during infertility are ordered to procreation.  The approved NFP method attempts to have sex at an infertile time.  The editorial quite rightly calls for an examination of the Church's teaching because it is not based on reality. Gallup and Pew report the majority of American Catholics have rejected the Church's teaching on both contraception and increasingly on the morality of homosexuality.  The Church's position will change again as it has before as the editorial points out.
