CELIBACY ought not to be preferred to marriage, 156. Chastity cannot be
predicated of those who have renounced marriage by vows of perpetual
celibacy, unless there be and remain in them the love of a life truly
conjugial, 155. The sphere of perpetual celibacy infests the sphere of
conjugial love, which is the very essential sphere of heaven, 54. Those
who live in celibacy, if they are spiritual, are on the side of heaven,
54. Those who in the world have lived a single life, and have altogether
alienated their minds from marriage, in case they be spiritual, remain
single; but if natural, they become whoremongers, 54. For those who in
their single state have desired marriage, and have solicited it without
success, if they are spiritual, blessed marriages are provided, but not
until the; come into heaven, 54.
