In Catholicism sexuality in marriage is to give couples an intimate way to express their love and bringing new life into the world. If a couple learns they are infertile, would sex then be sinful since its sole purpose would be for pleasure?

No Jonathan, in our Catholic faith sex is regarded as a gift in the married state firstly for pro-creation and also for intimate love,sex would not be wrong for an infertile couple.

It is both, not either or. Therefore it is NOT sinful. A couple has to be "open to the possibility of new life". If they are not, they are in danger of sinning. That is why contraceptives are against Church law. They prevent one from being open to new life.

I think sex is consider a sin, only when it is outside of marriage.
Sex is sacred within the bonds of marriage for pleasure or not.

No it would not be sinful, and should still be practiced as the coming together of the two to form one flesh is still very valid and blessed within the marriage covenant.

You said one reason was to express thier love and then you jumped off the track. Or did you mean it had to be a two part package?

no. You are forgetting about the intimacy of two married people. Besides, Abraham and Sarah had children, so God can will anything into existence.
My wife and I are in this similar situation.

Thoughts like that are why I think religion is total bunk. Our sexuality is biological yes for procreation but it also is for pleasure. There is nothing wrong with not procreating every time you have sexual relations.

If sex is not supposed to be for pleasure I doubt god would make it so, erm, pleasurable.

If you ask the Catholic Church they will say yes because pleasure is sinful but I say go for it.
