If the clergy are within religions that enforce celibacy, then they are very likely to find it difficult to comply and that seems to lead to awful tensions which end up with religious disobedience involving denial of their own sexuality and desires.

What do you mean by 'the church'? The church he belonged to has over 200,000 members, I don't know how many of them are sex offenders.

It doesn't.

The tiny minority of religious people who commit heinous offences are so abhorrent that they attract major new coverage, and renew our horror and revulsion at the abuse of trust with which they have behaved.

Atheist - I think it is less to do with abstinence, than with an exercise of perceived power, privilege, and an imagined 'right' to behave as they wish, outside the constraints of law, humanity and compassion that govern the rest of us.
