It usually means they took a vow in their belief to not be selfish/greedy, not have sexual relations, and obey/deliver. A very strict conviction of themselves for their belief in purity and relevance.

What vows does a pope take?

It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman Catholic is a slur that was started in England after the protestant revolt, it is meaningless in the Catholic Church unless you are referring to the Latin Rite, which is properly called the Latin Rite, not the Roman Rite. There are no vows that every Catholic makes, every Catholic makes promises when he is baptized, or they are made in his name if he is under age. The only vows, properly so called, are the vows of religious. There are three made by monastics: conversatio morum (roughly conversion of manners), stability, and obedience. There are three made by religious that are not monastics: poverty, chastity, and obedience (known as the evangelical counsels).

Can religious Catholic sisters get married?

No; they're already "married" to God. They can't marry anyone (else) until they leave their order. Which can happen, but it's not the usual thing. What makes a woman a Catholic religious sister is her vows or promises which are three: poverty, chastity, and obedience. All three imply that the person making the promises will never marry, so that is the basis of their vocation. To get married would mean that she wasn't a Catholic religious sister, an oxymoron.

Yes. If you are filing to sponsor someone you will need to fill out an Affidavit of Support stating you can support this person in the US without being on public assistance. You have to meet 125% of the poverty line, as stated on the forms you can download at www.uscis.gov. If you filed bankruptcy you are not an eligible sponsor and you will need a co-sponsor (mother, father, someone who makes 12% of the poverty line).


Who is required to practice chastity?

Quoted Directly from the Catholic Catechism: (http://www.va/archive/catechism/p3s2c2a6.htm) "2348 All the baptized are called to chastity. The Christian has "put on Christ,"134 the model for all chastity. All Christ's faithful are called to lead a chaste life in keeping with their particular states of life. At the moment of his Baptism, the Christian is pledged to lead his affective life in chastity. 2349"People should cultivate [chastity] in the way that is suited to their state of life. Some profess virginity or consecrated celibacy which enables them to give themselves to God alone with an undivided heart in a remarkable manner. Others live in the way prescribed for all by the moral law, whether they are married or single."135 Married people are called to live conjugal chastity; others practice chastity in continence: : There are three forms of the virtue of chastity: the first is that of spouses, the second that of widows, and the third that of virgins. We do not praise any one of them to the exclusion of the others. . . . This is what makes for the richness of the discipline of the Church.136 "
