Use of correct ecclesiastical language

[edit]

While this article clearly intended to be an article for popular audiences, i think it would be worthwhile to try to infuse it with correct ecclesiastical/liturgical language

The second sentence of this article reads "Roman Catholic priests take a vow of celibacy at their ordination and as such are called to refrain from all sexual activity."

First of all, a "promise" of celibacy is made by a deacon (preparing for the secular priesthood) to his ordinary. Second, religious priests make a vow of chastity at their profession. Thus it woudl be good if this sentence could be replaced with something like\

"Roman Catholic priests make a promise of celibacy at their ordination to the transitional diaconate (or a vow of chastity at the time of profession, in the case of religious priests) and as such are called to refrain from all sexual activity." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MattDawg579 (talkcontribs).
