CELIBACYWhy NOT celibacy? Practicing celibacy or being celibate is the abstention of sex (not engaging in sexual activity). There are MANY reasons; religious convictions (being aNun or a Priest), religious beliefs- waiting until marriage to have sex, or to avoidpregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, personal or family values that adhere tothe belief that you should be married before engaging in sex, personal choice; you want to wait for that special someone and get married before being intimate, and other reasons. There is NOTHING wrong with having a close relationship and remaing celibate.It can actually be quite healthy for a relationship. Relationships that are based on sex and not much else are doomed to fail. <<>> AnswerIf their religious befiefs call for it. Some choose it for inner peace believing that it will keep them pure. Some believe sex is the work of the devil and others just don't care for it.

How many popes were not celibate?

A:As popes have for many centuries been required to be celibate, many sexually active popes would not have made their sexual status known, so we could never say with any certainty how many popes were celibate. It is generally only because of the existence of illegitimate children or complaints of rape, that it was proven that a pope was not celibate. Popes who were relatively elderly at the time of their election would probably have been celibate, but in some other cases popes would have been celibate by moral choice. In modern times it is considered that almost all popes have been celibate in office.

They are individuals, they can believe whatever they like. While it is commonly believed he wasn't married and therefore he would have been celibate, it would matter either way. Faith and belief in Christ and the purpose of chrisitanity doesn't rely on Jesus being celibate or not. It is moot.
