21: Chastity – Same as Celibacy?

from Catholic Parents Online Hosted by Catholic Parents Online

The word “Chastity” has been very much misunderstood in our culture today. It is often seen as a repression of our innermost desires, with a list of prohibitions preventing us from satisfying the deepest yearning of our hearts for love and union. It has even been equated to celibacy, and therefore reserved only for priests, religious and singles. Yet, properly understood, it is anything but that. Chastity is not merely about saying “no” to sex. Chastity is about saying “yes” to God’s plan for our sexuality. This episode explores what this entails, and how it actually frees us for authentic love in all its splendour and beauty. Learn more about Catholic Parents Online at catholicparents.online.
