Question
Dear Fr. Moderator,

Does the Church consider the interrupted coitus in the marriage the heavy sin? If yes, where is it written in Scriptures? I like Catholic do not know all the Church Fathers cannot be saint or could not have been led by the Holy Spirit during writing of their texts. Thank you very much and I want to be very satisfied and happy in the Catholic Church.      Buzrla from Czech Republic

Answer
Some questions are of a highly personal or individual nature that it would not be possible to discuss in this forum.  These are questions on which you would most appropriately be given advice and counsel by your own confessor, who can come to know you and knowledgeably guide your spiritual life.  Sometimes it may take some effort, but in that effort you will enhance the grace of Faith and will develop a relationship with a
confessor who can personally come to know your spiritual state and prudently guide you.
