Sexuality and Celibacy in Roman Catholic Church: A Psychological View

Abstract

Roman Catholic priest and nun are made to take the oath of celibacy. Does this make them lose their sexuality? Is it only those who lack or are confused about sexuality that end up becoming Roman Catholic priests and nuns? Did Christ lack sexuality? This paper highlights the relationship between sexuality and celibacy so that those who feel
called to celibate life will find fulfillment in it. Celibate life is the life of the “Kingdom” lived here on earth.
