Besides that, it's not victimless. A priest who is filling his mind and soul with pornography is probably unable to give the congregation entrusted to him by Our Lord the sort of spiritual direction they deserve. Agreed, but what then do you have to say about the majority of priests who are alcoholics?

Agreed, but what then do you have to say about the majority of priests who are alcoholics? Your question assumes facts not in evidence. That said, I once had an associate Pastor who occasionally quoted the "Blue Book" in his sermons. A priest who is a dry alcoholic isn't a problem. A priest who is an active drunkard is as much a problem as a priest who is an active porn user. Both need to clean up their act.
