I think a big reason that their are a higher concentration of pedophiles in priesthood is more that the occupation doesn`t allow a person to have a family.

Essentially to become a preist you have to sacrifice having a wife and family. Therefore you eliminate a lot of non-pedophiles. Most people to not consider the preist hood as an option because of the sacrifice you have to make.

If you allowed preists to marry you would get a lot more people interested in being a priest. Therefore you would reduce your concentration of homosexuals.
