You don't know what you are talking about. The word has two meanings: it can mean unmarried, and it can also mean abstaining from sexual intercourse. The latter meaning is the one in play here.

No, you don't know what we're talking about.

The subject is the use of the word "celibacy" in the context of a Catholic theological pronouncement - a pronouncement that will be written in Latin.

In theological discussion, the word "celibacy" has a very specific meaning.

Sorry, that still doesn't make any sense in this context. Homosexuals do not engage in "sexual intercourse." Even the most "active" homosexual is "celibate" by this definition.

The meaning of celibacy is "vowing not to marry." In a Catholic context.

In general use, the word "celibate" has spread out in meaning to encompass what is more properly termed "chastity." This is what homosexuals, nay, all people are called to practice.
