I don't think celibacy per se leads to pedophilia...more of the culture of sex itself being considered so unthinkable that they avoid women and then perverted things occur. If they needed sex, and who can blame them, vows or not, there were always women or other men if that was their inclination. The whole little boy thing is so way beyond that....I can't explain it but I think I can vaguely see how it all happened...it is very sick and it is or at least was the extreme part of the culture of fearing sex so much that it comes out in perverted awful ways. mg
