“Interesting: the writer stresses the error in equating celibacy and chasteness with “un-wholeness.” When in fact it would do well for Christians (including Catholics) to have a higher view of celibacy and of wholeness beyond the confines of sexuality. Even institutions like the Catholic priesthood suffer because the wrong-minded are drawn as opposed to those with a genuine commitment to celibacy. Preoccupied with God, not sex.”
Well said.
