Perhaps a comparison of sexual deviancy rates between celibate clergy and non-celibate clergy would be more useful. When comparing the sexual perversion rates of clergy and the general population, you’re not eliminating enough variables (moral code, belief system, belief in God, belief that sexual deviancy exists, etc.) to determine whether celibacy alone makes a difference.

Yes, that sounds like an excellent idea.
I think the Catholic belief is that celibacy is better. But better how? And maybe it had advantages in biblical times that it doesn't now.
Just thinking out loud...
