Abstract:
AbstractThis article challenges the consensual view that the yahad were a celibate group by raising the following arguments: (1) The silence of the Community Rule regarding women and family cannot attest to celibacy, since there are no passages in the scrolls which refer to celibacy; (2) The passage in CD 7:3–10 should not be regarded as alluding to the celibacy of the yahad; (3) Comparisons with early-modern sects attest to the centrality of celibacy in the group ideology, hence it is impossible that celibacy was self-understood; (4) 4Q502 Ritual of Marriage mentions marriage, reproduction and children, and bears several lexical affinities with 1QS and other compositions of the yahad. Therefore, it should be related to the yahad. Consequently, the sweeping identification of the yahad with the (mainly celibate) Essenes seems problematic.

Abstract:
The article considers the influence of the shift in the philosophy of nature and that of human nature on the understanding of clerical celibacy. The critics of celibacy argued that the whole system of the human body was inactive, which caused melancholy and affected the soul. One of the symptoms of this disease was misanthropy which was against natural sociability. The celibate priest thus found himself asocial. This argument was based on the new mechanistic metaphors of the human body and resulted from the discussion on the mind-body problem, as well as from the construction of the new systems of nature (e.g. that of Buffon and Linnaeus), which exploited the relation between the reproduction and the order of nature. The apology of celibacy affirmed that celibacy demon­strated the possibility of overcoming one’s nature and that it was a state of per­fection because it imitated the nature of angels. Consequently, the celibate priest overcame the natural family relations and interests and was able to embrace all with his paternal love. This understanding of celibacy largely excluded the prob­lem that underlies the argument against celibacy, postulating that the soul has power over the body on the basis of the (neo) Platonic view of the chain of be­ings. The article concludes that this discussion resulted in the construction of two incommunicable logics that describe the sacred status of the priest.

Abstract:
Esta contribuição pretende demonstrar que, na História da Igreja católica, a junção entre celibato e sacerdócio nunca foi absoluta e que, portanto, a ordenação de homens casados, que se espera seja deliberada pelo Papa e pelos Bispos no próximo Sínodo Pan-amazônico, não significa uma ruptura com a Tradição eclesliástica. Com efeito, o celibato sacerdotal não é nem um preceito divino, nem uma ordem de Cristo, nem uma disposição apostólica, mas sim, o resultado de uma contínua avaliação custo-benefício. Em perspectiva sincrônica e diacrônica, o Autor ilustra a evolução histórica da junção entre celibato e sacerdócio, chegando à conclusão de que a verdadeira mudança histórica na legislação referente ao celibato aconteceu em 1917. Em seis teses ele demonstra que os argumentos aduzidos em favor do celibato sacerdotal, aos quais a Igreja, no decorrer dos séculos, recorreu e sempre lançou mão de um novo toda vez que um antigo já não convencia, estão quase superados. Na verdade, do ponto de vista do custo-benefício o problema da drástica carência de padres bem como o dos escândalos dos abusos sexuais pedem que a Igreja, finalmente, tome posição em favor da ordenação de homens casados. Isso, tanto para prevenir possíveis fatores de risco decorrentes da obrigação da vida celibatária, quanto para aumentar o número de padres, para que os fiéis de todos os lugares e com mais frequência possam celebrar a Eucaristia, para onde converge e de onde emana toda a ação da Igreja.Abstract: This contribution intends to show that in the history of the Catholic Church the connection between celibacy and priesthood has never been absolute and therefore the ordination of married men - that we hope will be discussed by the Pope and by Bishops in the forthcoming Pan-Amazonian Synod - does not mean a rupture with the ecclesiastical Tradition. Indeed, the priests’ celibacy is neither a divine precept, nor one of Christ’s commandment nor an apostolic disposition but rather the result of a continuous cost-benefit evaluation. In a synchronic and diachronic perspective, the Author illustrates the historical evolution of the connection between celibacy and priesthood, coming to the conclusion that the true historical change in the legislation with regard to celibacy happened in 1917. In six thesis he shows that the arguments put forward in favour of the priests’ celibacy, arguments to which the Church, for centuries, has appealed (and always put forward a new one whenever one of the old ones was no longer persuasive enough) are almost obsolete. In fact, from a cost-benefit point of view, the problem of the drastic shortage of priests as well as the sexual abuse scandals demand that the Church will finally take a position in favour of the married men’s ordination. And this is so both in order to prevent possible risks resulting from the celibate life and to increase the number of priests so that the faithful from all areas may more often celebrate the Eucharist to where converges and from where emanates all the actions of the Church.Keywords: Catholic church; Priesthood; Celibacy; Apostolic tradition; Viri probati.

Abstract: This paper proposes a new way of understanding celibacy. The world offers that the most important thing is an active and free life, that is, one cannot be a complete and warm human being in a relationship<br />without a genital sexual experience. The world underestimates celibacy and wants to prove that the choice of celibate life will result in compensation secretly, illegally, and will lead to destructive and manipulative relationships. The thoughts of John Paul II are relevant in an effort to offer a paradigm of sexual liberation, to develop, and to maintain for the creation of sexuality values and the call to life for the sake of the Kingdom of God. John Paul II’s thoughts on celibacy for the sake of the Kingdom of God in the perspective of theology of the body become material for reflection and input for people who live celibate to live in harmony with all the complexities of their bodies. <br /> <br /><strong>Keywords:</strong> Celibacy, John Paul II, Kingdom of God, theology of the body, Rome Catholic.

Abstract:
This paper connects celibacy to autonomy, which is derived from economic, emotional, and sexual self-determination. Although society attempts to control and define women's sexuality, the celibate woman who masturbates can retrieve her sexuality without the massive social rearrangements which are necessary for economic and emotional liberation. Because masturbation is accessible and singular, sexual autonomy is available to a woman who chooses celibacy, regardless of the other exigencies in her life, as illustrated in the example here from popular literature.

Abstract:
AbstractDead Sea Scrolls scholarship has historically emphasized a binary between the celibate yaḥad of the Community Rule and the marrying edah of the Damascus Document and Rule of the Congregation. An early focus on celibacy has given way in recent years to arguments for the near ubiquity of marriage in the scrolls movement. In place of dichotomies of marriage and celibacy, the complexities of sexuality in the scrolls are best understood in terms of a sexually-limiting sectarian marital practice. This marital practice is grounded in a theology of perfection and is best understood in light of sociological approaches to the evidence in the scrolls. In addition to better explaining the evidence for sexuality in the scrolls, a reading from this perspective may, potentially, shed light on the perennial question of whether the movement began with marriage or celibacy as its prevailing social norm.

Abstract:
By the late Middle Ages canon law demanded that the higher orders of clerics lead a celibate life. In reality, however, throughout the medieval period and into the early modern era a significant minority fell far from this ideal. Children, born after their fathers had taken vows to the higher orders, were visible evidence of their fathers’ failure to uphold these ecclesiastical standards. The anthropologist Mary Douglas argues that cultural systems need to be able to control or restrict anomalous or ambiguous events that might overturn their organizing principles and threaten their integrity. Through an examination of French synodal legislation from the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries, I will display how the ecclesiastical cultural system worked to maintain the principle of celibacy and its own integrity by turning these children into moral and legal outsiders whose very existence is a source of scandal and moral contagion to be avoided or contained. In this context medieval ecclesiastical officials situated these offspring, particularly the sons of priests, as the source of all cultural contradictions inherent in ideas about clerical celibacy, marriage, and the control of ecclesiastical resources. Furthermore, by delegitimizing these sons and then granting them access back into the ecclesiastical system through the mechanism of the dispensation, the advocates of clerical celibacy were able to triumph culturally in spite of the challenges to their ideals that the existence of these children presented.

Abstract:
Using a multidisciplinary approach, the paper provides a brief overview of the development of celibacy in the Antiquity and Middle Ages, shifting from a practice based on an individual’s personal decision to approach what they consider sacred, to a practice legally regulated in religious or social communities. In some cases of this regulation, celibacy becomes an obligation for members of those communities who want to occupy certain positions within it, while in others it is prohibited as a practice that destroys society. Greater attention was paid to celibacy in the Middle Ages, since in this period celibacy experienced its greatest affirmation in Christianity, passing within it the path from a practice that was desirable, but voluntary, to the norm for clergy.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 51-55.
The aim of this study is to answer the question: is celibacy psychologically heal thy with specific reference to Christianity? Jungian theory is utilized to develop a theoretical framework in which celibacy may be viewed. The meaning of celibacy is initially examined from a Christian perspective as a form of love and contrasted with celibacy's meaning and implications from a Jungian perspective. This is done by means of a comprehensive exposition of Jung's concept of individuation, what is understood by "psychological health" and how this is linked with religious experience. The integration of instinctuality and spirituality is then centrally addressed in an elaboration of the concepts of sexuality, religion and mysticism and Jung's critique of Christianity. Further levels of the meaning of celibacy, as possible specific and unique constellations of an individual's psychic development are examined in both negative and positive forms. It is concluded that from a Jungian perspective celibacy in the main is not psychologically healthy, and specific points of departure between Jung and Catholicism are highlighted.

Um dos temas de destaque na obra-prima de Giovanni Boccaccio, o Decameron, escrita por volta de 1353, é o amor sensual, vivenciado por seus personagens de forma realista e naturalista. Dentre esses personagens, encontramos membros do clero católico, celibatários, e é para eles que voltamos o nosso olhar. Pretendemos traçar as características da abordagem de Boccaccio ao tema do amor sensual no celibato clerical em dez novelle da obra e, com isso, levantar quais concepções de amor, indivíduo e natureza humana são encontradas nas entrelinhas dessas histórias. Para analisarmos o corpus, tomaremos como base a fundamentação do celibato na Igreja Católica, exposta por Brown (1990); a doutrina do amor em Boccaccio, que trata o amor sensual com realismo e naturalismo, abordada por Scaglione (1963) e Givens (1968); a retórica de Aristóteles (2006), já que os personagens usam a retórica para obter êxito na conquista amorosa; as considerações de Ó Cuilleanáin (1984) e Smarr (2014) sobre a representação decameroniana do clero; além de estudos sobre o autor e obra, como os de Auerbach (2007; 2013). Com base em Berger (1972) e Nodelman (1988), analisaremos ilustrações que representam o amor sensual praticado por personagens celibatários, feitas por Alex Cerveny. No Decameron, os clérigos são dessacralizados, retratados como homens comuns, nos quais a natureza e o instinto se fazem presentes. A nosso ver, esses homens e mulheres são levados pela instituição católica a abandonarem obrigatoriamente a sexualidade, mas eles não desejam renunciar efetivamente a esse aspecto que é inerente à vida humana.
One of the main themes in the masterpiece of Giovanni Boccaccio, the Decameron, written around 1353, is the sensual love, experienced by its characters in a realistic and naturalistic way. Among those characters, we find members of the Catholic clergy who are celibates, and who are the holders of our attention. We intend to describe the characteristics of Boccaccio’s treatment of the sensual love theme in clerical celibacy in ten novelle from the book and present which conceptions of love, individual and human nature are found in those stories. To analyse the corpus, we will consider the foundation of celibacy in the Catholic Church, exposed by Brown (1990); the doctrine of love in Boccaccio, that treats sensual love with realism and naturalism, approached by Scaglione (1963) and Givens (1968); the Aristotle’s rhetorics (2006), since the characters use rhetorics to succeed in loving conquest; the considerations of Ó Cuilleanáin (1984) and Smarr (2014) on the decameronian representation of the clergy; besides studies about the author and book, such as the ones by Auerbach (2007; 2013). Based on Berger (1972) and Nodelman (1988), we will analyse some illustrations which depict the sensual love experienced by celibate characters, drawn by Alex Cerveny. In the Decameron, clerics are unholy, portrayed as ordinary men, in whom nature and instinct are latent. In our view, these men and women must give up sexuality because of the Catholic Church doctrines, but they do not actually want to abdicate this aspect which is inherent to human life.

Abstract:
In this thesis I first aim to describe the way in which the decline of the respectability of reparative therapy in the United States created a need for Evangelicals to come up with another political defense against same sex marriage. I argue that this political defense is gradually becoming what I call the “spiritual friendship movement:” an emerging group of gay thinkers and writers who expand the notion of Christian celibacy to include same sex relationships that would be called “romantic” by modern categories. Because this concept is both so new and so complex, in this thesis I will spend time attempting to paint a picture of the implicit logical and theoretical assumptions made by the writers in “spiritual friendship movement” through their most popular books and blog posts and speaking engagements at key “gate-keeper” evangelical organizations.
