it will remain unenforced so long as the enforcers are themselves largely homosexual

I agree: homosexual infiltration of the curia is where the Holy Inquisition should start. What are you proposing: marry them all off?

I don't know what to say

I never asked you to say anything. If you think that having professional liars rent every office in the land on a 4-year cycle is a better idea, perhaps you also like the growing national debt and crumbling infrastructure.

what would it take to convince you?

Convince me of what? I totally agree that homosexuality in the Church is a huge problem. What I don't agree is that providing pedophiles with female sexual partners is going to set a better example for the people of Ireland. We want priests that give the gift of their sexuality to God and wish to be celibate. We largely have those men. Today, the younger the priest, the better he is: chaste, orthodox, devoted. The crisis is over.

the celibacy rule is a sort of tenet of the faith

It is generally a good idea to learn something about the subject, them post opinions on it. Celibacy is not a dogma of the faith. It is what is called a discipline: something that can be changed by the Magisterium of the Latin Church. The argument is not that married people cannot be priests in the Latin Rite, but that it is not going to benefit the Church.

You misunderstand my proposal. I will repeat it. The only way to remove homosexuals from the clergy is to replace them with married, heterosexual men of good moral character. That can be accomplished by ordaining thousands of married deacons. We have a few bishops who would do that. These men will form a generation cohort that will re-infiltrate the RCC clergy and return it to the people. It will start something of a war, as the entrenched sodomites will not relinquish power without a fight.

I outlined the plan above. This is the only way I know of to remove and replace a corrupt corps of cadres. It works, though. Stalin's example is the one to study and to follow, excepting of course for the violent tactics. But the strategy is right.
