El celibato no significa abstinencia. Para los puristas, el celibato, derivado del latín para soltero, significa un estado permanente de estar sin sexo.
La creencia de que las figuras religiosas debían ser célibes comenzó mucho antes del nacimiento del cristianismo. Se pensaba que los antiguos sacerdotes druidas eran célibes y se esperaba que los sacerdotes del templo azteca permanecieran sexualmente abstinentes. Otras sectas precristianas ordenaban que las personas elegidas para sus ofrendas de sacrificio debían ser puras, lo que significa que nunca habían tenido relaciones sexuales.
Jesús vivió una vida casta y nunca se casó, y en un momento de la Biblia se le llama eunuco (Mateo 19:12), aunque la mayoría de los eruditos creen que esto fue una intención metafórica. La implicación fue que Jesús vivió una vida célibe como un eunuco. Muchos de sus discípulos también eran castos y célibes. Pablo, en su primera carta a los Corintios, recomienda el celibato para las mujeres: “A los solteros y a las viudas les digo que es bueno que permanezcan solteros como yo. Pero si no pueden ejercer el autocontrol, deberían casarse. Porque mejor es casarse que arder de pasión “. (1 Cor.7: 8-9) Pero la iglesia cristiana primitiva no tenía una regla estricta y firme contra el matrimonio y la procreación de los clérigos. Pedro, un pescador de Galilea, a quien la Iglesia Católica considera el primer Papa, estaba casado. Algunos papas eran hijos de papas.
El primer mandato escrito que requería que los sacerdotes fueran castos llegó en 304. El Canon 33 del Concilio de Elvira declaró que todos “los obispos, presbíteros y diáconos y todos los demás clérigos” debían “abstenerse completamente de sus esposas y no tener hijos. ” Poco tiempo después, en 325, el Concilio de Nicea, convocado por Constantino, rechazó una prohibición de matrimonio de sacerdotes solicitada por clérigos españoles.
La práctica del celibato sacerdotal comenzó a extenderse en la Iglesia occidental a principios de la Edad Media. A principios del siglo XI, el Papa Benedicto VIII respondió al declive de la moral sacerdotal emitiendo una regla que prohibía a los hijos de sacerdotes heredar propiedades. Unas décadas más tarde, el Papa Gregorio VII emitió un decreto contra los matrimonios de clérigos.
La Iglesia tenía mil años antes de pronunciarse definitivamente a favor del celibato en el siglo XII en el II Concilio de Letrán celebrado en 1139, cuando se aprobó una norma que prohibía el matrimonio de los sacerdotes. En 1563, el Concilio de Trento reafirmó la tradición del celibato.
Se han ofrecido varias explicaciones sobre la decisión de la Iglesia de adoptar el celibato. Ed Sunshine, de la Universidad de Barry, le dijo a Knight-Ridder que la política se inició para distinguir al clero como un grupo especial: “Un clero célibe se convirtió en el paradigma de separación del mundo pecaminoso”. A.W. Richard Sipe, ex sacerdote y autor de Sex, Priests and Power: The Anatomy of Crisis (1995), le dijo a Knight-Ridder que “la pregunta en ese momento era quién es el poder final: el rey o la iglesia. Si [ la iglesia] podría controlar la vida sexual de una persona, podría controlar su dinero, su empleo, su beneficio “. Garry Wills sugirió en Under God que la prohibición del matrimonio se adoptó para elevar el estatus de los sacerdotes en un momento en que su autoridad estaba siendo desafiada por nobles y otros.
Los protestantes desde el principio se opusieron al celibato, argumentando que promovía la masturbación, la homosexualidad y la fornicación ilícita. Martín Lutero señaló la masturbación como una de las ofensas más graves que probablemente cometerían quienes eran célibes. “La naturaleza nunca se rinde”, advirtió Lutero, “todos estamos impulsados al pecado secreto. no entra en una mujer, entra en tu camisa “. Los protestantes estadounidenses del siglo XVII, temerosos de las sectas religiosas radicales como los Shakers que celebraban el celibato, se manifestaron en contra de la práctica.
La posición de la Iglesia Católica Romana hoy se deriva del Concilio de Trento. El celibato se considera una parte importante del sacerdocio, una señal del compromiso del sacerdote con Dios y el servicio. Hoy, sin embargo, existen algunas excepciones a la regla del clero no casado. Los ministros anglicanos que ya estaban casados cuando se unieron a la Iglesia Católica pueden permanecer casados si deciden unirse al sacerdocio.
La Iglesia Católica distingue entre dogmas y regulaciones. El sacerdocio solo para hombres es un dogma católico, irreversible por decreto papal. La prohibición del matrimonio se considera un reglamento. Como dijo Knight-Ridder, “Eso significa que el Papa podría cambiarlo de la noche a la mañana si lo desea”.
El primer erudito moderno que hizo un estudio exhaustivo del celibato en la iglesia fue Henry Charles Lea hace más de un siglo. Lea, un protestante crítico de la Iglesia Católica, cerró su extenso libro con la siguiente declaración:
“Puede que estemos en vísperas de grandes cambios, pero no es fácil anticipar un cambio tan radical como el que permitiría la abolición del celibato. Primero hay que olvidar las tradiciones del pasado; primero hay que olvidar las esperanzas del futuro. abandonada. La iglesia latina es la estructura más maravillosa de la historia, y antes de que sus líderes puedan consentir tal reforma deben confesar que su carrera, tan llena de orgullosos recuerdos, ha sido un error “.

We are immersed in a sea where it seems that you have to let yourself be carried away by the current, but those who – without letting themselves be carried away by fashions – think freely, they are a reference for others, because they do not bow to environmental pressure.
No es una creencia intrínseca de la Iglesia Católica, es una ley. Cuando los anglicanos quieren convertirse al catolicismo pueden mantener a sus esposas, lo que demuestra que el celibato de los curas no es realmente una creencia religiosa
More important than Anglican converts are the Eastern Rite Catholic clergy who are not converts, but are permitted to marry in the same way that Eastern Orthodox priests are.
The history recounted suggests that concerns about inherited wealth, power, and position should probably be added to the list of rationales. This rationale has little relevance today–though other rationales might.
I think this “man-made” rule is nuts. How can you say to a non-catholic married minister of another church, “If you join us and wish to become a priest , it’s okay to keep your wife.” BUT if your are a catholic you cannot become a priest and be married.
The church punishes it’s own for being catholic. How stupid.
I am a catholic and I truly believe that one day common sense will prevail and a progressive Pope will bring the church to it’s senses.
Мало је рационалног у вези са религијом уопште и хришћанством посебно. С обзиром да је то 100% гласина.
Свакако су неке ствари битне за хришћанство, попут забране варања, крађе и убијања, рационалне.
Али те одредбе нису искључиво религије. Они имају смисла са рационалног и хуманитарног становишта.
Они теже да шире друштвени поредак и врсте одједном.
Чини ми се да начела хришћанства према Исусу нису она која имају за циљ да постиде добре људе да ограниче сопствене слободе и жеље. Намера им је да ограниче претерано проширене и злоупотребљене слободе и жеље богатих који плене сиромашне.
Виз., Исус преврће столове мењача у Соломоновом храму. И прекоревати фарисеје, оне који су већ привилеговани својом везом са владом, који су злостављали и пленили сиротињу.
У основи, Исус је био Берние Сандерс свог доба!
God Made Man, in doing so he made him to reproduce, he made it a biological drive, to defy this drive is to go against the laws of God and nature ! This is why Celibacy is wrong and is destroying the Catholic church ! A man made law of Celibacy, look at what it has done to the church and will continue to do !
Also another mistake is not to allow divorced people to participate in the sacraments. Some one needs to run the statistics up the flagpole to find out what that has cost the Catholic Church in money and attendance !
Jesus consorted with Mary Magdalene, and He taught that any sin could be forgiven except “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit,” whatever that means. So, He was not celibate and He forgave sexuality in others. So this article is not helpful, stating the obverse.
“It is better to marry than to burn” reveals a hell of a lot about the puritanical attitudes of ancient religion purveyors.
Basically, they are saying that because it is inevitable for a man to sin because of masturbation, due to our intense natural (yet veboten!) sexual urges, it is better to marry and pop your rocks into a supposedly dispensable woman and have a child that you will be responsible for the rest of your life (according to those that era’s fcked up pseudo-mores), than to spill your seed “into your shirt.” (Ummmm, tube sock or Kleenex, in modern times.)
Sht, if that’s how they did it in the old times, the front shirts of every young man must have been stiff as rocks!
Actually, he is referring to the words of Luther – quoted in the article above: .”Nature never lets up,” Luther warned, “we are all driven to the secret sin. To say it crudely but honestly, if it doesn’t go into a woman, it goes into your shirt.” Read the history, it makes you smart(er).
Never mind that the N.T. rules for those overseeing the flock include the injunction of being “the husband of one wife,” not to mention the analogy of “if they can’t properly govern their kids, how are they to govern the congregation” (paraphrased slightly). Ya can’t have kids w/o marriage (according to Scripture, that is), so there are 2 practices that are essential to being a shepherd of the flock.
That is why priests are not allowed to be marriage counselors. There are elderly people in the church with years of experience who handle marital issues. I think we shouldn’t be too quick to judge. besides there are a lot of protestants today with very young pastors who are unmarried and yet preach and advice they flocks on marriage….And the same word says if a part of you prevents you from entering heaven, cut if off. it is better to enter into heaven with one eye than into hell with both. Marriage works for some just as much as it doesn’t for others. We both know a lot of people men and women in marriages today wish they never made that decision or say those vows to each other including clergies who are divorcing and remarrying in the light of all this “Marriage and Celibacy” discussion. i don’t think anyone is forced with a gun to their heads to be priests, pastors or to get married. These decisions are made solely by the individuals and must be ready to accept responsibility whenever it sways. Human are naturally glory hungry but never want to admit to flaws. You must have a reason for every decision you make and know it comes with responsibilities. If someone was able to stick to his celibacy vows, why can you and if someone was able to make his marriage work, why can’t you? Will power, endurance and above all the love for God comes to play here. Some married people irrespective of what their partners give in marriage will still cheat including clergies. Now what i mean to say is simple, “some humans” are never content with anything. They will still misbehave either ways. Some married clergies are still cheating even with a woman available to them 27/7. Let us deal with issues from the root and not the branches.
Are you implicitly suggesting castrating some priests and gauging out their lustful eyes for heaven sake? How do you explain the fact that Jesus mentioned the right hand and not the left? Some who join the Catholic priesthood are wrongly taught that is the only way to serve God.(I Cor. 7 ; I Tim.4:3) Others join the clergy to satisfy their homosexual urges under the cloaks and the protection of the abominable church of Satan pedophilia for centuries.
Good point. It is also important that priests be addicted to heroin or cocaine and are alcoholics because without that experience they could not relate..
O, The book “Apostolic Origins of Priestly Celibacy” produces proof that this woman is off by more than ten centuries when it comes to Continent/celibate priests.
As early as the fourth century Pope Siricius was issuing his decretals demanding priests return to the ancient Apostolic Praxis of continence/celibacy
Celibacy May have made sense in another time and place but I think it is time to change. Having a church that is led by a bunch of celibate men who have never known the struggles and hardships of marriage is a disservice to the parishioners who the are supposed to be leading. Besides, it does go against our human nature, a nature that we were given by God at creation. For God Himself has declared “it is not good for the man to be alone, therefore I shall create woman for him”.
On the sixth day of creation God COMANDED the man and the woman “Go forth and multiple.” Why would the church think it is wise to contradict human nature and the commandment of God? “You hold to the traditions of man, rather than the commandments of God”
If Jesus had got married it would have put an end to all this arguing.

Are you implicitly accusing Jesus of encouraging celibacy within the Catholic Church? Why did celibacy become official only in the 12 Century? Jesus was tempted in all things, according to the Bible, yet He committed no sin. Can you say the same things for these pedophiles and homosexuals and others struggling day in and day out with their natural sexual urges?
Being active and overcoming oneself through sport allows to transfer this energy without caring about beating the meat.
Think about it, if each time you had a meat beat you had a workout instead you’d have been jacked already.

I agree, it’s abnormal

The meanning of this is so dull

NO PUEDO OPINAR, PORQUE NOS BUSCAN
Missioners and yum yum
Not being able to marry does not stop a lot of priests from rearing children, if you know what I mean.
Totally. Who knows how many women they molested in their lifetime
Never mind that the N.T. rules for those overseeing the flock include the injunction of being “the husband of one wife,” not to mention the analogy of “if they can’t properly govern their kids, how are they to govern the congregation” (paraphrased slightly).
