Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Although the virtue of chastity is often presented as the cornerstone of Catholic sexual ethics, little attention has been paid in theological discussion to the origins and transformations of this concept. The present study traces the original meaning of the Roman virtues of castitas and pudicitia, their reception by the most important patristic and scholastic authors and the traditional manuals of moral theology that draw on them, and finally the most important voices of recent decades. It concludes by presenting the challenges posed to the virtue of chastity by contemporary times and proposing adequate responses.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
