Topic: Chastity



  
 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Chastity
With chastity is often confounded modesty, though this latter is properly but a special circumstance of chastity or rather, we might say, its complement.
But this means the pre-eminence and mastery of the spirit, which in turn can only mean the castigation of the body.
Such a motive springs from the dignity of human nature, which, without this rational sway, is degraded to brutish levels.

 Courage Home Page
With chastity the person has head and heart united in pursuing the more noble values of a relationship with the Lord, the truth about the sacredness of sex, and the dignity of the human person.
The values of chastity must be "objectivized," internalized, such that the will is "constantly confronted by a value which fully explains the necessity for containing impulses aroused by carnal desire and sensuality.
A further value is that by opting for chastity, we will be living up to our own human dignity as persons created in the image and likeness of God.

 Light & Life Vol 47 No 6 - Chastity and The Spiritual Life: Some Strategies
Chastity’s first goal, but not its exclusive one, is marriage which renders its acts human rather than merely biological, so that each partner can give oneself to the other.
Chastity, on the other hand lets us control our exposure to venereal pleasure reasonably, according to our state in life, and thus eliminate these possible negative effects.
Sexuality, in which man’s belonging to the bodily and biological world is expressed, becomes personal and truly human when it is integrated into the relationship of one person to another, in the complete and lifelong mutual gift of a man and a woman.

 virtue of chastity
Conjugal chastity requires that spouses say ‘no’ not only to any barriers to life and love (e.g., contraception), but also to treating one another as objects of gratification.
You are not alone if chastity only brings to mind the idea of abstinence, prohibitions, and overall disdain of the body.
In this series, Bishop Loverde has attempted to show that the Church’s teachings — so often misunderstood as a litany of prohibitions — are grounded in a holistic understanding of the human person and because of this, they open the door to an authentic understanding of love and freedom.

 Chastity: Why & How
The "need" to engage in sex is a fabrication on the part of those who, admittedly, can't say No to our greatest sensual pleasure, because they choose not to say No to its more resistible preliminaries and to lesser gratifications.
Stated negatively and very simply it is this: we can't be happy, unless we freely and lovingly give ourselves to others.
All appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, we men just might be able to harness our sex drive or, when not, at least to acknowledge the harm we do others no less than ourselves.
