This will continue to happen until the Church makes celibacy optional and forcefully purges the clergy of all homosexuals.

Two distinct, and perhaps unrelated issues.

So in your view, anyone who does not have sex is at risk of molesting children, especially young boys?

I was told by a RC priest that the homosexual clergy in the church doesn’t want married clergy.

The institution’s leadership and culture is a homosexual magnet, you would never be able to drive out homosexuality, the best you can hope for is to try and limit the practicing of it among the leadership.

Explain to me why the Episcopal Church has molesters in its ranks even though their clergy marry.

not true, celibacy has nothing to do with sex abuse, those mostly charged with abuse are married protestant ministers, coaches, teachers, etc.
