I would wager that some girlfriend/boyfriend was the main causative factor in this tale of woe.

Do you have any evidence? Because if sex was the root of all priests leaving 75 % of them would be gone with nuns, women from the parish or little boys

Yes, the empirical evidence was published in the 1990”s by America Magazine stating that over 85% of those leaving the priesthood in a given 10 year period of observation attributed the causative factor to romantic needs. This salient fact is mentioned continuously in Catholic periodicals. This should come as no surprise to those conversant with Catholicism.
