On Celibacy by Marcy Hintz

An article from Christianity Today gave a good reflection upon today's view towards celibacy. Introducing Rodney Clapp's Families at the Crossroads.

"Evangelical pastors justify the celibate life with those passages, but hardly ever promote it as a desirable calling."

It is the problem with today's churches, mainly the evangelicals of the West, that have embraced an autonomous worldly view towards romance and even celibacy, that has caused problems in marriages, christian social standards, etc., just as the case with selecting worship musics today.

This is actually a historical repetition of human flaw within the church. Like what some have said, that the problem of the Roman Catholic church persecuting Galileo wasn't because of the preservation of the tradition of the church, but because of the infusion of the autonomous Aristotelian view into the church.
