If you have stumbled onto this page and would like to read more about what the Catholic Church as taught about chastity, please read below:

St. Augustine said, "Do not say that you have a chaste mind if your eyes are unchaste, because an unchaste eye betrays an unchaste heart."

Pope Pius XII wrote an Encyclical, Sacra Virginitas, where he wrote:

"Never should it be forgotten that perfect chastity is a great gift of God. For this reason Jerome wrote these succinct words, "It is given to those, who have asked for it, who have desired it, who have worked to receive it. For it will be given to everyone who asks, the seeker will find, to the importunate it will be opened." The Pope added:

"To prayer must be added frequent and fervent use of the Sacrament of Penance which, as a spiritual medicine, purifies and heals us; likewise it is necessary to receive the Eucharist, which as our predecessor of happy memory Leo XIII asserted, is the best remedy against lust. The more pure and chaste is a soul, the more it hungers for this bread, from which it derives strength to resist all temptations to sins of impurity, and by which it is more intimately united with the Divine Spouse; "He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, abides in me and I in him."

Other quotes from the teaching authority of the Church:

"And the unmarried woman and the virgin thinketh on the things of the Lord: that she may be holy both in body and in spirit. But she that is married thinketh on the things of the world: how she may please her husband." 1 Corinthians 7:34

"Love Him with all your heart, who is more beautiful than the sons of men; you are not preoccupied, your heart is free from the bonds of marriage...If, therefore, you would owe a great love to husbands, how much more ought you not to love him for whose sake you wished not have have husbands?" St. Augustine

"Hold up the life of the Virgin Mary as the model of virgins, imitate her my daughters." St. Ambrose

"But for fear of fornication, let every man have his own wife: and let every woman have her own husband." 1 Corinthians 7:2

"Celibacy not against nature." Sacerdotalis Caelibatus, paragraphs 53 and 54 by Pope Paul VI.

"Holy virginity and that perfect chastity which is consecrated to the service of God is without doubt among the most precious treasures which the Founder of the Church as left in heritage to the society which He established." Pope Pius XII, Sacra Virginitas or Holy Virginity. March 25, 1954

"And what is virginal chastity but purity free from stain? And, whom can we judge to be its author but the immaculate Son of God. Whose flesh saw no corruption. Whose Godhead experienced no infection? Consider, then, how great are the merits of virginity. Christ was before the Virgin, Christ was of the Virgin. Begotten indeed of the Father before the ages, but born of the Virgin for the ages. The former was his own nature, the latter is for our benefit. The former always was, the latter he willed." St. Ambrose, Concerning Virginity, Book 1, paragraph 21

"Concerning virgins," says the Apostle, "I have no commandment of the Lord." If the teacher of the Gentiles had none, who could have one (referring to Paul)? And in truth he had no commandment, but he had an example. For virgiity cannot be commanded, but must be wished for, for things which are above us, are matters for prayer rather than under mastery." St. Ambrose, Concerning Virginity, Book 1, paragraph 23

"All the Baptized are called to chastity. The Christian has "put on Christ (Galatians 3:27)", the model for all chastity. All Christ's faithful are called to lead a chaste life in keeping with their particular states of life. At the moment of his Baptism, the Christian is pledged to lead his affective life in chastity." Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2348

"It is a sign(earthly continence) that the body, whose end is not the grave, is directed to glorification. Already by this very fact, continence for the kingdom of Heaven, is a witness among men that anticipates the future resurrection." Pope John Paul II, General Audience; March 24, 19
