The Bible condemns sex before marriage, otherwise known as fornication. Matthew 15.19, for example, mentions fornication as something that defiles a person. Saint Paul's various letters also condemn it (some translations will say "immorality", but that was always understood to mean fornication).

My understanding from the American news media is that sex before marriage is only for priests and altar boys.

And for girls, if you name your bastard son Jesus, people will believe that you're still a virgin.

Any Christian with a Bible: IT is a Sin. Matthew 1:18-19 celebrates the chastity of Joseph and Mary. And Hebrews 13:4 considers sex outside of marriage to be immoral: “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.”

Helpful thanks!

The Catholic Church disapproves of fornication (sexual intercourse between two people not married to each other), calling it "gravely contrary to the dignity of persons and of human sexuality".

If not married to each other, it is a sin. I imagine the loophole when they said "not before marriage," then married people said i can cheat! I am not before marriage! So they updated "married to each other!

From what you told me about this situation she agreed to come and wanted to share a room by that standard, she accepted the terms and if sex happen it happen, I dont think you would rape her

I don't think Catholic girls care what the bible says. At least not the Catholic girls I've gone out with
