Father Sebastian Picur, known from TikTok, comes to the rescue and decided to clarify two issues that raise many doubts. Are you wondering whether intercourse during pregnancy is a sin? Here is the priest's answer.

Father Picur's TikTok profile is followed by over 767,000 people. His posts are a real mine of knowledge about faith. This time, the priest decided to explain whether intercourse during pregnancy is a sin.

Is intercourse during pregnancy a sin?

"As far as sacramental spouses are concerned, intercourse during pregnancy is not a sin. Of course, when pregnancy complications arise, for the sake of the mother and baby, you should refrain. However, if everything goes smoothly, the spouses do not have to confess," emphasises the priest on TikTok.

But that's not the end. Father Picur also commented on the opinion expressed by a popular Catholic influencer. Do the sins of parents pass on to children and should we confess them? His answer is a resounding "no."

"The personal sins of parents do not pass on to their children," he explains.

Each of us has personal moral responsibility. If a woman is pregnant and, for example, lies, the child is in no way guilty of this act.

"For it to be considered a sin, the act must be committed consciously and voluntarily. So how can a child under its mother's heart knowingly and willingly do something wrong? This position is wrong," sums up the priest.
