Catholic Doctrine on Celibacy and Virginity


ASJ dedicates itself to spreading all of the divinely revealed truths that comprise the Holy Catholic Faith. But we place special emphasis on the teachings regarding sexuality since these are under such severe attack today.
      It is no surprise that such attacks come from the world around us. But with startling frequency as of late, these attacks are coming from Catholic circles. The official Church teachings on these matters is as sound as always, and all the truth from Scripture and Tradition has been re-iterated in holy synods and councils throughout the ages. But most people don't take the time to read these divinely inspired and/or infallible truths. The result is a prevailing ignorance of Christ's saving truth regarding matters sexual. And ignorance of important, revealed truths can be disastrous.
      Our apostolate highlights pertinent texts from doctrinal sources such as Scripture and Church documents. We explain their context so that Catholics can get a sense of the variance that exists between God's revelation about sexuality and the erroneous beliefs and practices widespread in today's Church. Then, with God's grace, we will be able to convince Catholics and ultimately all Christians to believe in and practice the same sexual morality that Jesus lived and taught.
