Of course that is correct, but where are the numbers that show "celibates" are less likely to abuse children than married people? I have a hard time believing it. Sex, within marriage, is a good thing, and is not sin. St. Paul called the marriage bed "honorable" and described sex within marriage as a preservative of good morals.
