Question

Who should practice chastity according to Catholic moral teaching?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chastity should be practiced between a man and a woman before marriage, Spouses, and Widows.

Explanation:

Chastity is defined as an act of abstaining from any form of sexual behavior. According to Catholic teachings, God created man and woman in his image that they should individually first identify their sexual identities and that this would lead to understanding the concept of a good marriage and the need for blissful family life.

Chastity according to the teachings of Catholics is a "moral virtue" and those married should avoid infidelity and help each other grow in Chastity. Catholic moral teachings identify three forms of chastity virtue namely; spouses, widows, virgins.

Given the above, Chastity creates a strong bond between an individual and God after subduing the flesh to the dictate of God's commandments.
