Actually, the basis for most proposals to further liberalize AmChurch or the Boy Scouts is to facilitate the destruction of what is wholesome and decent. See the open desire for Gaia environmental worship, for women's ordination, for "democracy" in the pews to decide moral matters by the iron rule of 50% + 1. I could live with a change to a married clergy but it would likely be one more step down the slippery slope to "married" lesbian bishops, life "commitment" ceremonies, etc.
The surest path to eliminating pederasty in the rectory is, well, purging the pederasts and their enabling superiors by jailing them, if necessary, but the Church should act first and hold them up to public shame by defrocking them and stripping them of all authority.
