Legalize prostitution.
That may work for a few. But, it's beyond just not getting sex.
Some people just seem to get their jollies on sexually abusing, or injuring, children.

The church would rather they relocate.
Cerainly those celibacy vows aren't helping.That may work for a few. But, it's beyond just not getting sex..
I think this, along with what happened to USA gymnastics, Penn State, Married people, step parents, etc...
We have a major child abuse problem in this country. It's not just one area. It's everywhere.
The real problem is institutions not being transparent and covering it up. I know the Church is all about forgiveness, and I"m sure when they do know about these cases, many of those priests were abused themselves, so they are fulfilling the common pattern of abuse. The church would rather they seek help, get treatment, relocate, etc. While some of that is good and all, it's also a pattern of being an enabler, just like anyone who's known someone struggling with drug addiction.. they usually have a loved one (often a parent) who is an enabler, or at the least down plays the seriousness of the situation.
It’s time for the church to come clean. Expose the offending priests. Keeping the names hidden Creates distrust. People don’t know that they just got a pedophile for a priest and the cycle continues.
They also need to face the fact that humans are.... human and are subject to physical needs that need not be denied to be holy. If they allow priests to marry, they can move away from these perverts that want the cover of the church.

Fracis' letter via CNN (I'm sure I could find a more official copy).
Of course it doesn’t but it opens the door wider for non predator priests.You're missing the group that also molested girls, fathered children, were essentially married.
And being married doesn't stop rapes and child abuse. It's not about sex.
Of course it doesn’t but it opens the door wider for non predator priests.
As it stands, the priesthood has become a beacon for sexual predators.
Allow marriage and there will be accountability within the marriage and the priesthood
I got your point, I disagree.
Predators just find their way in any position of authority.
To be clear, I’m not saying that the predators would cease to exist. They’d just not be as prevalent in the priesthood.
Also, (and a big part of this), if the church would stop settling these matters by paying off the victims and hiding the names of the priests, the priesthood would be less attractive to sexual predators.
