If they would just let them get married 99.9% of this would go away. I really don't understand why this continues.
That is outright wrong. The Protestant churches (which allow married clergy) Have higher incidents of sexual abuse, school teachers (which allow marriage) have as high a rate of abuse. Both of those groups show that fact by insurance claim payments to victims.
This isn’t solely a Catholic thing not because priests can’t marry.

The issue to me seems to be abuse occurs in professions where the adult is held in high trust and spends a lot of time around kids.
So priests, ministers, teachers, coaches, scout leaders, etc, all fit that mold.
Allowing priests to marry would help alleviate the priest shortage. I don't think it changes much of the dynamic around abuse.
