intercourse outside marriage might be seen as an objective moral wrong but 

subjectively not sinful in

the following scenarios: (1) after dating steadily for three years, two young adults become engaged with
plans to be married within a year. After prayerful reflection and careful discussion, they honestly believe
that given their mutual love, intercourse would not be wrong for them; this is their sincere
judgment.Objectively, they may be mistaken in their evaluation and an objective moral wrong may be
involved, but there would probably be no serious sin on their part; (2) two teenagers, who have been
bombarded by the sexual fireworks of our society and who find themselves pushed to false
sophistication, may wind up in a relationship that stirs their feelings far more than they understand or
can cope with; their passions prevail and become their masters, leading the couple into periodic
episodes of genital involvement. Here again, objective moral wrong exists, but if there is truly a
curtailment of the couple’s freedom, the reality of serious subjective guilt or sin seems unlikely.
Pastorally, of course, these teenagers need to be informed of the human and spiritual harm associated
with their activity. It is to be hoped, too, that they can be brought to a change of behavior.” 

“…After recognizing that it is morally permitted to engage in sexual intercourse while maintaining the
desire and intention to avoid conception, we must then ask whether any means other than periodic
abstinence may be used morally to achieve the intended goal of not procreating.
The answer offered both by Humane Vitae and by the long-standing Catholic tradition is no. The
argument offered is that contraceptive intercourse is against the natural order of things as intended and
established by God, who wills that the procreative and unitive dimensions of the conjugal act be kept
inseparable. As suggested earlier, however, this line of reasoning appears flawed in that God and nature
have seen to it that in no small measure the procreative and unitive dimensions of human sexuality are
separable and separated – during a woman’s cyclic periods of infertility, after menopause, and in
instances of biological sterility.  …As we shall see, any number of Catholic theologians now maintain that
assuming spouses are responsibly motivated and are not acting out of selfish or materialistic
contraceptive mentality, the use of artificial contraception does not constitute a moral evil or sin and is
not even an objective moral wrong “… adolescents, young adults, and anyone else who cannot be
dissuaded from engaging in non-marital, pre-marital, or extra-marital intercourse, should be encouraged
to a careful use of some kind of contraception. Moral responsibility would seem to demand this course
of action.” (page 223, ibid)
