Perhaps they will figure out that married Priests may not be such a bad thing.

Married priests would prevent homosexual liasons and pedophilia how, exactly?

I have to agree with you on that. Regardless of what the church wants to think, a priest is also a man. He shares the desires for companionship that God gave us all.

But letting priests marry will not discourage homosexuals from entering the priesthood.
You've heard of the Village People. Their songs revolve around "In the Navy", "YMCA" ... and dress as cops and construction workers. They may as well have dressed as priests. Homosexuals congregate in areas with a heavy male presence.
Homosexuals enter the priesthood to prey on other so-inclined males ... and to prey on young male Christian followers. It's insidious and the Catholic Church should be far more agressive in stopping this behavior.
