Priests are to live in Christ's likeness. They are to be mirror images of Christ in every way possible. Being married disturbs this likeness. (Please don't refer to The DaVinci Code in your response).

How does letting priests marry prevent pedophiles from becoming priests?

Quite the allegation. I'm sure you'll back it up somehow in this thread.
