The cause...in a word....CELIBACY!

Which is why married men don't sexually abuse young girls and boys, right?

Secondly, while horrific, the rate of sexual abuse of minors by Catholic priests is about the same as the rate of sexual abuse among Protestant ministers and public school teachers.

Finally, Jesus and St. Paul recommend celibacy "for the kingdom of heaven," for those who can accept it. See post #41.

I believe your statistics may be a bit flawed.
