Again, now your yourself misuse the Term pedophile, and pedophilia. Ending celibacy wouldn't stop anyone from being a pedophile.

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.

In which case I think it could reduce problems of abuse - but it would not all paedophilia, ie being sexually attracted to children, will end if they could marry. I fail to see how that is a misuse of the term.

If it's not something you chose, how can it be unacceptable?

I meant to say acting upon paedophilic thoughts and desires. My apologies.
