So they're targetting juveniles instead of women that they counsel? Don't think that quite adds up.

Sex drive is a powerful thing, certainly. The priest could avoid the priesthood - go have an affair with a parishoner - target a child or a fellow priest - or, honor the vow that they have taken.

If sexuality cannot be moderated by belief, men would never be able to stay in a monogamous relationship.

Maybe a life of celibacy attracts more homosexuals who want to repress their desires, than it does heterosexuals simply willing to make personal sacrifices to become a Priest.

Married priests would prevent homosexual liasons and pedophilia how, exactly?

They could marry each other.

You failed to answer the question that was posed.

I'm not in the position to "explain" all those Protestants.

So, you were "not in the postition" to make the following comments but were instead ignorantly flapping your gums.

Figure it out.
Homosexuality is known to thrive in prisons situations where men are deprived of normal heterosexual relationships.

Normal sex drives plus lack of normal sexual relationships tends to result in abnormal sexual behavior.

I never denied I posted that. What's your point?

And what's with the childish demands that I respond to YOUR questions?
I post responses to the posts I choose.
