The Catholic priest Andreas Unfried from Hesse is facing a major change: He will be leaving his parish. This step, which marks the end of a long service period of 37 years despite him not yet being retired, is due to personal reasons. Unfried announced that he has been secretly living with a woman for many years and now intends to marry her. In his statement, he also expressed a personal struggle with the vow of chastity. Despite his deep gratitude for the church, he admitted that he personally struggles with this vow. These personal life events lead him to the decision to prioritize his relationship with his life partner and solidify it through marriage.
