being a true, chaste (in all its forms) Catholic is counter-cultural.

Yes, you're right.

My point was that many young men seem to think, well, seminarians and priests are celibate, but everyone else can sleep around without commitment or harmful consequences. That's what they're taught by the schools, the media, etc., but it's not a moral option, and that needs to be made clear by the Church.

Unless a man is married, he's required to be celibate, just like a priest is. (True for women, too, of course, but the article was about priests.)
