The author, a convert from Evangelical Protestantism, makes a claim that the virtues of a celibate life (not specifically about staying chaste before marriage, but living a life of celibacy) are not taught in Evangelical churches.
Is he accurate in what he says? (I don’t know, not being an evangelical)
If he’s wrong, say so.
It is taught that there is a “gift” of celibacy. Not all have it. One can’t live a celibate life if not gifted this way. That is my understanding.
He’s wrong.
I grew up in evangelical church circles, and abstinence was always faithfully preached for all unmarried people.
This article is the usual case of an over-excited recent Catholic convert. As is often the case, anyone who recently converts to something is a bit overexcitable about the perfect of his new path....
Catholics are a liberal voting block and have been since they started showing up in America, the Protestant vote is almost a perfect record of supporting conservatism, yet article after article gives the impression that Catholics are conservative and are trying to stop Protestant liberalism, it is bizarre.
To a conservative it is a troubling to see someone move from our most conservative religious category to a liberal church and then start lecturing the conservative Christians.
