Venere ed Imene al tribunale della penitenza: manuale dei confessori

A manual addressed to priests and deacons provides a systematic exposition of sins against chastity and the mutual duties of spouses, beginning with a warning that the topic requires prudence and discretion. The first part classifies lussuria and analyzes concrete offences such as fornication, rape, abduction, adultery, incest and sacrilege, includes an appendix on clerical provocations, and treats unnatural acts with detailed discussion of masturbation, sodomy and bestiality alongside pastoral norms. It also examines non‑consummated offences — impure thoughts, indecent kisses, touches, looks, dress, obscene language, books, dances and spectacles — and surveys causes, effects and remedies. A supplement considers impediments like impotence and the theology, obligations and limits of the conjugal debt, including guidance for confessors.
