24th General Audience, April 16, 1980
You have heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery.” But I say to you: Whoever looks at a woman to desire her [in a reductive way] has already committed adultery with her in his heart (Mt. 5:27-29). A fundamental revision of the way of understanding and carrying out the moral law of the Old Covenant. Applies to the Commandments: 5th You shall not kill (Mt. 5:21-26) 6th You shall not commit adultery (Mt. 5:27-32) 8th You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord (Mt. 5:33-37)
