Don't believe that the predatory, homosexual abuse disappears with having married priests. If married clergy is preferable to you there are probably 20-30 local options available to you.The Church sees a deeper meaning...

Besides, Jesus says otherwise, about accepting celibacy:

8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”
10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—
and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs FOR THE SAKE OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

That's not what Bergoglio states in his heretical "Amoris Laetitia". Sometimes those darn Commandments are just too hard to keep.
