Some are called to celibacy, while others are not from "summary" of Celibacy by A. W. Richard Sipe
The concept that some individuals are called to celibacy while others are not is a complex and deeply rooted idea within religious traditions and spiritual practices. This concept suggests that certain individuals are specifically chosen or destined to live a life without sexual relations, while others are not burdened with this particular calling. For those who feel called to celibacy, the decision to abstain from sexual activity is often seen as a way to devote themselves more fully to their faith or spiritual practice. This dedication to a life of celibacy is often viewed as a way to deepen their connection to the divine or to serve a higher purpose. On the other hand, those who are not called to celibacy may feel more at ease pursuing romantic relationships and engaging in sexual activity as a natural part of their human experience. This does not necessarily mean that they are any less committed to their faith or spiritual beliefs, but rather that their path to spiritual fulfillment may involve different experiences and expressions of love and intimacy. It is important to recognize that the concept of celibacy as a calling is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each individual must discern their own path and make choices that align with their beliefs and values. Whether one feels called to celibacy or not, the key is to approach these decisions with a sense of integrity and authenticity, honoring both oneself and one's spiritual journey.
