Priestly celibacy is not the problem here. In fact, this is the distinguishing characteristic that allowed the Catholic Church to endure in places like Eastern Europe during the Cold War -- even as other Christian denominations capitulated to Communist governments across the board.

Those other Christian churches learned the hard way that a cleric with family obligations wasn't going to put up much of a fight when things got rough for him.

Normal men date and marry adult women and have kids.

Homosexuals, pedophiles, pederasts and other deviants gravitate to a life and career that covers up their lack of normal relations with women, and gives them access to victims.

And back where it counts, in the USA, the only “fight” that the RC church ever puts up (besides for open borders) is to shield its serial child rape from public knowledge and rightful justice.
