I think a big part of it is that some men with pedophilic tendencies don't realize they are sick, so instead of getting therapy, they think that God can cure them if they dedicate their lives to the church. Eventually, they give in to their sickness because they are not properly treated.
In Europe, joining the clergy is viewed as more of an honour than a place to try and hide. Priests are often active in the community and are more visible than here. They (priests) seem to be a lot more social in Europe in general.
BTW, thanks for not pointing out the double typing in that post..
