It is certainly true that man is most human and proves his humanity by the quality of his relationship with woman. (This, in Marx, surprised me.) How much more true than I realized in the past! Here in the monastery with our chastity we are ideally supposed to go still further in this dimension of humanism and love. This is one of the keys to our problems: how can one go further than that to which one has not yet attained?
Not that virginity cannot be deeply and purely human. But it has to be spiritual and positive. This spiritual character of chastity and virginity is not found in alienation. It is not found in sentimentality, in a “thought” of pure love for Jesus.
