What does celibacy have to do with homosexuality or molester/priests? One can be celibate and straight and a non-molester. That's a far cry from someone who is a practicing homosexual and an ordained priest, or bishop. Bishop Gene Robinson comes to mind. He's a homosexual priest/bishop who actively engages in sex. Where's the celibacy there? (Yes, I know he's not Catholic, but don't other denominations take a vow of celibacy, or is it just the Catholics?)

What does celibacy have to do with homosexuality or molester/priests? Celibacy means you can't marry. This fact would attract a greater percentage of homosexuals to heteros. Also, being married in the Catholic church usually means fatherhood. No Bishop who was a real father of precious children would ever move a molester priest from parish to parish. He would get rid of the molester.
