About this Quote

This quote by Hans Kung recommends that if priests were permitted to marry, it ought to be an optional choice. If priests were enabled to have a spouse and children, it would lower the temptation to please sexual impulses with minors. This implies that priests might be more likely to take part in improper behavior with minors if they are not allowed to marry and have a household. This could be due to an absence of emotional and physical intimacy in their lives, leading them to seek it in other places. By permitting priests to wed, it might provide them with an outlet for their sexual desires, lowering the likelihood of them participating in improper behavior with minors. This could assist to safeguard minors from prospective abuse and produce a safer environment for them.
