3. Married clergy would make pedophilia and other forms of sexual misconduct go away.

If marriage couldn't cure a homosexual, what would make anyone think that a man who
becomes a priest and has homosexual leanings would be cured by being married?

It is not about homosexuals getting married!!! They are saying that the priesthood would attract NEW HETEROSEXUAL CANDIDATES FOR THE PRIESTHOOD. A new pool of men from which to select priests.

Nobody anywhere is implying that homosexuals or pedophiles should get married and stay in the priesthood. Boot 'em out as soon as they are outed.

There may remain a few homosexuals/pedophiles who would enter "cover" marriages, but no one has thought of that one yet. In that scenario, there would be far fewer of them than we have been dealing with thus far.

There are thousands of good men who would make good priests and are good catholics who are married and/or will be married. Get it?
