- Celibacy abstract "Celibacy (from Latin, cælibatus) is the state of being unmarried and/or sexually abstinent by choice for usually religious reasons. Historically, it has simply been defined as the state of being unmarried. A 1990 book that focuses on celibacy in Catholicism states that "the most commonly assumed definition of celibate is simply an unmarried or single person, and celibacy is perceived as synonymous with sexual abstinence or restraint." The book adds that even in the relatively uniform milieu of Catholic priests in the United States "there is simply no clear operational definition of celibacy".According to Garner's Modern American Usage (2009), the Oxford English Dictionary gives the traditional definition of not being married, whereas, in contemporary usage, celibacy is almost universally understood to mean abstinence from all sexual activity. Most authors and all dictionaries define celibacy as necessarily voluntary, while, according to Canadian historian Elizabeth Abbott and Denise Donnelly, the notion is to encompass involuntary contexts, such as duress.Societal and religious views of celibacy have been varied. Ancient Judaism was strongly opposed to celibacy. Similarly, the Romans viewed it as an aberration and legislated fiscal penalties against it, with the sole exception granted to the Vestal Virgins. The apparent celibacy of Jesus during his lifetime has influenced Christian, particularly Catholic thought so that by the Middle Ages celibacy was a prerequisite for religious office (clerical celibacy) and even developed the less well-known institution of chaste marriage. Protestantism saw a reversal of this trend in the West and the Eastern Orthodox Church never adopted it in the first place. The Islamic attitudes toward celibacy have been complex as well; Muhammad denounced it, however some Sufi orders embrace it. Classical Hindu culture encouraged asceticism and celibacy in the later stages of life, after one has met his societal obligations. Jainism and Buddhism have been influenced by Hinduism in this respect. There were however significant cultural differences in the various areas where Buddhism spread, which affected the local attitudes toward celibacy. It was not well received in China for example, where other religions movements like Daoism were opposed to it. A somewhat similar situation existed in Japan, where the Shinto tradition also opposed celibacy. In most native African and American Indian religious traditions, celibacy has been viewed negatively as well, although there were exceptions like periodic celibacy practiced by some Mesoamerican warriors.".
