60 odd years ago I don't think anyone had a complete grasp of the real nature of peadophilia. I think it was regarded as the actions of someone who couldn't control his urge for sex. In fact peadophilia is a deep seated unnatural disorder from which it is very difficult to overcome.
Some people have blaimed the requirement of celibacy for child abuse. This thinking again displays a lack of knowledge of the true nature of peadophilia.
If a priest, or any person for that matter, has a disordered sexual desire, marriage will not the cure it. Experiencing the redemptive power of Christ in one's fallen sexuality is the cure. Getting married will only involve the transfer of a man's unnatural sexual desire to his wife and possibly his children.

There is often thois harking back to an understanding of paedophilia 60 years ago, but it's still going off, and we are hearing about cases from 5 years ago, ten years ago, when the nature of paedophilia was well known!  The cover ups have continued far more recently that this, and the change in society that means that the victims are seen as victims m,eans that people have been empowered to challenge the power of the church which would have once branded them as ungodly or trouble causers.
