Catholic Answers Relaunches Chastity Website

 

[Catholic Answers Relaunches Chastity Website: Catholic Answers announced the launch of the rejuvenated Chastity.com, a website aimed at helping Catholics understand and defend Catholic Church teaching on issues related to human sexuality] "Over the years, we've produced a substantial library of resources to help people understand God's plan for their sexuality," said Jon Sorensen, Catholic Answers director of marketing. "We have redesigned the site to provide users with a better online experience and easier access to a lot more information.

The new Chastity.com includes the following enhancements:

• Improved structure and navigation via a spacious layout and intuitive navigation.

• Hours of chastity-related video and audio content from Catholic Answers' YouTube channel and Catholic Answers Live, the nation's top-rated Catholic radio show.

• Chastity.com Blog will feature topical content from the Catholic Answers staff and guest contributors.

• Mobile responsive design automatically adapts to fit your mobile device.

Sins against chastity and purity are hardly new, but it is difficult to imagine another age more enslaved by a distorted view of sexuality. Instant access to pornography, a casual "hookup" culture, widespread use of contraception and sterilization, and the headlong retreat from marriage all derive from a rejection of God's loving invitation to cooperate in his plan for the salvation of souls.

Chastity.com will continue to evolve, introducing new content, visual enhancements, and other online offerings. With this website as with all of its works, Catholic Answers strives to show the world the joy of God's invitation.

Catholic Answers is the largest lay-run apologetics and evangelization organization in the English-speaking world. The apostolate is dedicated to serving Christ by bringing the fullness of Catholic truth to the world. We help good Catholics become better Catholics, bring former Catholics "home," and lead non-Catholics into the fullness of the faith." Catholic Answers Relaunches Chastity Website

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [Divorce or separation] "...They cite Matt 19:6, " So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”" In a marriage ceremony, which the RCs consider a sacrament, the couple are vowing before God that they will remain faithful and together, as long as they both shall live. No mention of annulment, or mind changing, or breaking a vow to God."

 

"Jesus does not deny the tremendous difficulty of his command. Instead, he says in verse ll, that the enablement to fulfill the command not to remarry is a divine gift to his disciples. Verse 12 is an argument that such a life is indeed possible because there are people who for the sake of the kingdom, as well as lower reasons, have dedicated themselves to live a life of singleness.

Jesus is not saying that some of his disciples have the ability to obey his command not to remarry and some don't. He is saying that the mark of a disciple is that they receive a gift of continence while non-disciples don't. The evidence for this is l) the parallel between Matthew 19:11 and 13:11, 12) the parallel between Matthew 19:12 and 13:9,43; 11:15, and 3) the parallel between Matthew 19:11 and 19:26."
