I guess the church’s belief that clergy should be celibate wasn’t the best decision.

Quite the contrary: if they were chaste and celibate, this problem would not exist.

Chaste celibacy is not an unusual or impossible thing. Not at all. It is in one sense universal: required of everybody, until they are married! And just think. Most people don't marry until they're in their 20's, some in their 30's or 40's or even older.

For all Christian men and women--- if they are not married --- chaste celibacy is their only honorable way of life.
