Celibacy in Jainism is missing[edit]

Considering that almost every Jain story and moral ends with a king/layman/warrior/etc giving up social life and becoming a monk, Celibacy must talk about Jainism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vkshah2 (talk • contribs) 09:53, 29 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Paul the apostle listed as married[edit]

The article states (uncited): Paul the Apostle, also known as Saul of Tarsus, was also married

Arguably the most direct source we have on Paul, his own first dictate to the Corinthians states:

Do we have no right to take along a believing wife, as do also the other apostles, the brothers of the Lord, and Cephas? I Corinthians 9:5 NKJV

This heavily implies that Paul was unmarried. 85.150.110.169 (talk) 22:38, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding celibate partnerships[edit]

Do other editors think it would be helpful to expand the "celibate homosexual Christians" to include celibate partnerships. Some Christian denominations, including the Church of England and Anglican Church of Southern Africa, support celibate same-sex relationships. Also, should a section be added, in general, as other cultures/traditions/faiths have encouraged celibate partnerships as a calling for platonic and/or romantic relationships, committed friendships?

Christian views in lead[edit]

The lead touches on Jewish and Islamic perspectives on celibacy, but Christian views are absent. That seems to be a glaring oversight. Considering that the majority of the article is focused on Christian teachings and practice of celibacy, I have expanded the lead to reflect the content of the rest of the article. I am noting my change here in case there is a unknown reason/justification for this information being missing. --Hazhk (talk) 19:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
