Selibasi rohaniwan

Selibasi rohaniwan adalah syarat di agama-agama tertentu bahwa beberapa atau seluruh anggota rohaniwan harus tak menikah. Agama tersebut menganggap bahwa hubungan luar nikah, pikiran, perasaan dan perilaku seksual menyimpang adalah dosa; selibasi rohaniwan juga mensyaratkan pencegahan dari hal tersebut."People should cultivate chastity in the way that is suited to their state of life. Some profess virginity or consecrated celibacy which enables them to give themselves to God alone with an undivided heart in a remarkable manner. Others live in the way prescribed for all by the moral law, whether they are married or single" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2349).
