The EO take a little bit different approach allowing their clergy to marry if they are going to stay at the parish level. I believe they have had a smaller incidence of this problem. I'm not sure what their history was in response to any incidences that may also have been a factor. Regrettably, it seems the hierarchy did a lot of covering things up early on.
As a I understand it there has been a real effort to try and weed out the problem at the seminary level, but that will probably take a generation.
Not for the monastics. Different rites among clergy fall under different discipline. Celibate parish priesthood was something favored in the west almost from the start. The East allows its future deacons and priests to marry (before receiving the Holy Orders).
If a priest is widowed, he is not allowed to remarriy. Bishops cannot be married. Most of them come form the ranks of the monastics, and a few are wodowed.
The Latin practice is a disciple to which the priests voluntarily agree. Those who cannot control their hormones can always seek ordination in the Eastern-Catholic or Orthodox Churches.
When you book an airline ticket and don't show up for the flight, you lose. You knew the risk and you took it. Every seminarian knows the rules and every seminary gives candidiates plenty of time to get out of the kitchen and seek an alternative.

At least.
It is a cross that our children and ourselves should not have had to bear.
