Kohanim are lucky. Even if they get divorced they still get to marry a besula, as they cannot marry a gerusha. (And the supply of young almanas is insufficient for divorcees. Even an almana is arguably better than a gerusha.)

I fail to see how divorced kohanim are luckier than non-kohanim. All the options that are available for kohanim are also available to non-kohanim.

Of course, my failure to see this must stem from the fact that I am a stupid apikorus who doesn’t understand the added kedusha of kohanim like Englishman (or whatever he’s calling himself these days) does and if only I were not a piece of human garbage, I might be able to see how kohanim are luckier in this regard.
