For the heroes of the Enlightenment, this "monkish virtue" was to be deplored because it deprived the nation of offspring, population being its true wealth, though perhaps not only for that.
See Diderot, the Encyclopedia article on Christianity.
And liberals today?
On the other hand, celibacy is not actually a questionable virtue.
It is rather merely a myth, a beard for homosexuality in general and pederasty in particular.
Or haven't you noticed the scandals of abusive clergy that liberals have successfully framed as an outrage by and disgrace for Christian clergy rather than homosexuals?
OK, I exaggerate a bit.
