(Chastity South Africa; c.f. CathNews 22/10/08; Catholic News Service 20/10/08)
Article by Marc Aupiais
Dr Manfred Lutz, psychiatrist to the Congregation for the Clergy- said that the vocation of celibacy is not only at utmost a practice required in utmost necessity in the role of many within the church- but powerfully- a permanent protest against mass superficiality, within large parts of modern culture. He noted that those who cannot live chastely- should not marry. He appealed those who still do maintain otherwise- that marriage was about more than sex, and that those who view the role of a woman in a relationship as to satisfy sexual ideas- often cannot stand natural and good practices such as celibacy.
