Christian Denominations: How They Differ on Cheating (Infidelity)
Catholic Church
Adultery is a grave sin against the Sixth Commandment. The Catechism (2380-2384) states it violates the marriage covenant and is intrinsically disordered. It requires sacramental confession and genuine repentance.

Christianity unambiguously condemns infidelity. The Seventh Commandment prohibits adultery, and Jesus raised the bar further in the Sermon on the Mount, teaching that even lustful looking constitutes adultery of the heart. The Catholic Church classifies adultery as a mortal sin requiring sacramental confession. Protestant denominations universally condemn it as a violation of the marriage covenant, though many emphasize the possibility of forgiveness and restoration through repentance. The Orthodox Church treats it as a serious sin requiring a period of repentance before returning to communion.
