Poverty, chastity and obedience is still thankfully the unwavering postition of our church.

Let's go straight to the source.

Matthew 19 10-12;29
His disciples say unto him: If the case of a man with his wife be so, it is not expedient to marry. Who said to them: All men take not this word, but they to whom it is given. For there are eunuchs, who were born so from their mothers womb: and there are eunuchs, who were made so by men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that can take, let him take it.

And every one that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall possess life everlasting.

He that can take it, let him take it.

Yes. But Christ never mandated celibacy for his apostles.

Chastity is not celibacy. Even married people are called to chastity.
