I think that would be a solution to child abuse, child molestation by priests.

Married men also abuse children.
I think the best way for the Catholic church to fight child abuse by priests is to ensure confidentiality for those who snitch, and make sure those who commit crimes get appropriate punishment. Part of the problem is that traditionally they have covered up for those who got caught and just moved them to another parish where they could offend again.

Yeah, you are right, I'm just saying that if they were married, could lower the problem.
The church kept on existing trhough guilt, with guilt they manipulate the believers (everything is a sin), but it seems that they don't feel guilty with those actions so it is that they don't even punish their members, just move them to another place like you say. A little odd, don't you think? Or unfair I might say.
