I'm not sure of your premise that allowing priests to marry would reduce pedophilia. I believe transparency and accountability (i.e. punishment) would help. I don't think pedophilia is caused by celibacy, but by fundamental pedophilia (whatever causes that).

I do believe that the church loses a great number of potentially good priests by demanding celibacy. How many people with a calling don't follow it because of the demand for celibacy?

Did some consumer-psychologist find that it is the optimal length of an article based on the shrinking American attention span?
