Thanks. I had a friend, an RC chaplain in the navy, who was certainly not poor and quite able to support a family. I agree that family life is distracting and that celibacy, poverty and chastity tend to concentrate the mind but are a type of sacrifice.
I think the West is so fixated on sex that it can't get its head out of its shorts long enough to look into its heart. Remember the Rich Young Ruler? The point of that parable was not riches, but an inability to give up what possessed him, and follow Jesus.
If you can't give up sex in order to follow Jesus, perhaps you ought to get into another line of work. Celibacy is a gift, but like motherhood it is also something a competent determined person can learn.
But think about it. What if Jesus said to you today, in person, "Give up chasing wimmin and follow Me"? Would you do it? Or would you be like the Rich Young Ruler, who went away sadly to hug his idols insted of his Lord?
