More than that (and I agree that there is no special proclivity of priests or celibate men towards abuse or pedophilia), it makes them a haven for serial abusers and shuttles them around to discover fresh boys.

Strangely I agree with this, I don't think priest == kiddy fiddler. Statistically it feels more like when they exist, due to the nature of their office, they have far more opportunities to offend and get away with it longer due to how HQ shuffles them around, so the cases kind of... aggregate. There was a relatively famous case in Canada about a minor league hockey coach who serially abused tonnes of kids, and eventually got caught, yet there's no narrative of minor league hockey coaches == kiddy fiddler because they're hopefully dealt with more strictly and more promptly.
