married men are just as likely to be pedophile sodomists as unmarried men

Do you have the numbers for that?

Yes. Phillip Jenkins a non-catholic did a study of over 2500 catholic priests over 30 years and found only 1 pedophile.

Ephebophilia is homosexual attraction to adolescent boys which is the majority of accusations against catholic priests and Jenkins also found in his study that the rate there was 3% which was the same rate as married men.

There is simply no evidence that celibacy increases the likelihood of either of these two disorders.
