Well ... Paul does not propose that consenting marital intercourse would ever be sin

You can't use what Paul *doesn't* say to make him contradict Augustine.

... and Paul never makes mention of procreation (let alone it being the only valid purpose for marital intercourse).

Again, you can't use what Paul *doesn't* say to make him contradict Augustine.

Paul encourages marriage ... and marital union ... for the purpose of avoiding falling to the temptation of Satan.

Augustine agrees. So there is still no contradiction between Paul and Augustine.

I don't believe that I stated that there was contradiction between Paul and Augustine.

I believe that I said that their teaching on the issue was different ... which it clearly is.
