Not only rape is wrong wrong, but also lust, which is a desire that precedes it.
"But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart." -- Matthew 5:28
"You shall not covet your neighbor's wife ..."

Talking about lust and whatnot is really not the same thing talking about rape so we can set aside the Bible quotes. Also the catechism only applies to the Catholic Church and was first published in 1992. If that's one of the earliest relious prohibitions against rape in any religion then that's quite an indictment of religion in general.
