They have allowed priests to adopt children.

I think celibacy is the least of the Catholic Church's worries. They need to concern themselves with looking into why the numerous sexual abuse cases were swept under the rug. If celibacy were an issue, why is it that these priest weren't having adult intimate relationships. If they were knowing that it was against their practice then I would say emphatically YES. Right now the coverups need to be addressed and the process in which these priests are brought in needs to be looked at as well because obviously somebody is missing something along the way.
