Nope, but it would be safe. Kids of priests are probably the only kids safe from priests. They don't prey on their own.

Ohhh...I see what's he's done here. He's pointing out all the coverage over the last few years that some priests sexually abused children, and he's making a play on that. I get it. Yes, that's funny to me.

Not necessarily. Episcopalian priests who convert to Catholicism and remain priests are allowed to be married and have families if they were already married at the time of their conversion. Conversely men who's wives have passed away can be ordained as priests and often are in the Catholic church.
