“Among the sins gravely contrary to chastity are masturbation, fornication, pornography, and homosexual practices…. Adultery, divorce, polygamy, and free union are grave offenses against the dignity of marriage.”
—

catechism 2396 & 2400

The catechism doesn’t list contraception under the grave offenses, and gravity is necessary for something to be a mortal sin.

(via shortbreadsh)

“…[A]ny use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated in its natural power to generate life is an offense against the law of God and of nature, and those who indulge in such are branded with the guilt of a grave sin.” Casti Connubii 56.
