Paedophilia is, the large or exclusive sexual attraction of an adult to children, male or female. Sexual contact does not have to occur, but it is often when we see it first. In some cases priests were found to have pornographic pictures of children, but no evidence of sexual activity was proven. These people could reasonably be classified as paedophiles.

In most countries, people who have sexual contact with children are not charged with paedophilia, there are normally charged with other legal offenses, such as rape, sexual interference, etc.

So, when priests, who are in a position of power, mostly (or exclusively) seek out or have sexual activity with male or female minors (children), it is fair to call them paedophiles. That does not mean they are not also rapists.
