Vol. III: 2o: A-S8 T-V6 X-2D8 2E-2F4. Detailed work on marital sexuality written by a Jesuit priest and casuist to guide other priests hearing confessions about sexual behavior. Sánchez "depicted human nature as strongly sexualized and proclaimed that a wide range of sexual pleasures could be enjoyed in marriage without being tainted by mortal sin" Watt. The Church disagreed with his permissive stance on some activities and caused some passages to be expurgated in 1610. Later in 1666 and 1679 multiple Popes placed the third volume on the Index of Prohibited Books. Nonetheless the work was frequently reprinted from its first appearance in 1602-1605 until this 1754 edition. Sánchez whose other well-known work discussed lying and mental reservation is also recognized as "one of the greatest casuists" FRAXI i.e. Ashbee Bibliography of Prohibited Books II p.81.
