FINALLY...someone of great stature dares to state:

All persons must choose how to live with the condition in which they find themselves. This goes for heterosexuals as well as homosexuals. Their options are different according to church teaching. But both are taught that celibacy is the moral option apart from marriage. Many heterosexuals who have never found a marriage partner remain celibate their entire lives. That is true not only of the many sisters and priests we know in the Catholic Church who have voluntarily chosen celibacy. It is equally true of many Protestants who have never found the right mate and have therefore chosen celibacy as their only moral alternative.

Just a couple of days ago I did a word search of the lengthy task force document:

chastity = 0 occurrences

chaste = 0 occurrences

abstinence = 1 occurrence, in the context of sex education.
