Well, while we're on the subject can other commentators help with my catechesis. Even if the pope didn't say those things, all but one and a half are essentially church teaching, right?
1.Homosexual relations-illicit
2.Sex organs must be used for reproduction-doesn't all licit sex have to be open to new life?
3.Abortion-gravely evil

7. Anal sex, even in marriage - Illicit, right?
8. Diurnal Sex - Fine.
