Yet another instance where someone displays ignorance of the meaning of "celibacy".

The original meaning. Nowadays, it means "abstaining from sex".

Its meaning remains what it has always been - "unmarried".

It is used quite generally - but erroneously - to refer to "chastity", which is abstention from sexual activity.
