**33 **Again you have heard that it was said to them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself: but thou shalt perform thy oaths to the Lord.

**34 **But I say to you not to swear at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God:

**35 **Nor by the earth, for it is his footstool: nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king:

**36 **Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

**37 **But let your speech be yea, yea: no, no: and that which is over and above these, is of evil.

What is the official Catholic Teaching on the above verses? Also why would this not contradict the discipline of the vow celibacy for priest of the Latin rite?

Thanks and God Bless you,

Nelson
 
This Scripture passage is mentioned in the section on the Second Commandment in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, especially paragraphs 2153 - 2155, here.

Promises and vows are mentioned in paragraphs 2101 - 2103, here.
