I cannot even believe you are debating the defination of a pedophile

To defend myself before I move back on topic, I'm not saying paedophilia is a good thing - I'm saying that the definition of it is misused. I do, repeat, do not think paedophilia is at all acceptable or justifiable.
I do think it is certainly possible that if priests could marry then abuse like this would end - it stands to reason that celibacy could cause urges that manifest themselves in the mistreatment of children - but that's not to say all paedophilia in the priesthood would end if they could marry.
