I think this is a large problem in catholicism, that causing clergy to pent up their natural instincts and desires in constant cycles of burying them with a blind eye and treating their own psyches with constant redoubt and cycles of guilt because celibacy is made mandatory eventually manifests itself in such disturbing ways. It's a shame really, but these are real psychological problems and not just evil people.

[St.] Paul always complained about the thorn in his side (many theologians think this refers to sexual temptation). Well if you focus on the thorn too much...
