The celibacy rule of Catholic priests simply gives cover to the homosexual who wants to avoid societal questioning of single men about sexual preference who avoid hetero relationships.

Therefore the priesthood becomes a refuge for homosexuals without sufficient screening by the Church.

Coupled with the powerful religious authority that the priesthood confers, the position becomes a trap for children.

and as a result the concentration of child molesters in the priesthood, if the 2% number that a Catholic poster above stated is true, is still a hundred times higher than the concentration in the general population.
