Well, perhaps.

The problem is certainly more complex than "celibacy," but I have to think that the current-day sex-saturation of media and society, celibacy places a tremendous amount of stress on men who are called to a life of practicing it.

And, for whatever reason, the priesthood also seems to offer a great deal of attraction for a certain segment of the homosexual population. Perhaps they think they can use enforced celibacy as an escape from urges they dislike; or they think it's a turn-on and a pickup opportunity. I suspect both motives are in play, actually.

If you combine the stress with the inherent mindset, you're bound to have problems.
