Church's Teaching on Sexuality
Sexual intimacy is reserved for marriage where it becomes a sign and pledge of spiritual communion. The union of husband and wife achieves a two-fold end: the good of the spouses themselves and the transmission of life. These two meanings or values of marriage cannot be separated without altering the couple's spiritual life and compromising the good of marriage and the future of the family.

I have never heard of sexual relations between a husband and wife described as an "act of worship."
However, 1 Thessalonians 5:17 calls us to "pray without ceasing."
With love in Christ.

No, that would imply they are preventing priests from engaging in an act of worship. The question is do they consider pedophile acts to be a form of worship since the church has such a long history of enabling them.

Sorry on your loss. Any team of Catholic/ Christians might know not absolutely everyone shares their faith. which incorporates a number of the church attendees) in line with probability a project of yours is to not be disrespectful. i might say this, Amen is an " i believe" or a "incredibly" Now I do love Jesus and am not prepared to accept as true with specific issues Catholics believe. spotting your international view extremely differs from mine, ...the degree of my and your non-participation remains a guy or woman determination) So my short answer if specific participation, jointly with kneeling or reciting creeds, or taking communion... somebody who unquestionably loves Christ ought to understand your respectful non-participation in a funeral mass. i don't take communion at a Catholic Mass through fact i'm unable to assert" Amen" to a particular doctrine of transubstantiation. It certainly seems appropriate to help your loved ones, and pay know on your grandpa. If our roles have been reversed, I have been attending a Wiccan funeral or a memorial service for a Satanist. it would be for remark /know and help of the kin member(s)

An act of love, perhaps, but I'm not sure about an "act of worship". I've been Catholic all my life, and haven't heard this one. However, if someone's got more info, I'm all ears.

That's beautiful! To express ones love for God through such an intense and personal act surely must be pleasing to God!

it's not an act of worship - it's an act of sanctifying the family relationship.

I prefer gay sex with my long-term partner who I love dearly...I don't think sex is an inappropriate time to be thinking about crucified alleged messiahs and such, I think if anyone did so then it might very well qualify as a sexual Bible fetish.

Only if it replaces the importance of God in a person's life.
