You hit the nail on the head there. Interestingly, there has been a study about the correlation between homosexual clergy and sex abuse, done by a priest. This study was done in the US, so it can't be generalised to the entire population of priests in the world.
Church Miliant is an organisation which describes itself as:
ChurchMilitant.com is a Catholic apostolate based in the metro Detroit, MI area that is dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith through the use of digital media. We aim to provide everyone with means to increase their personal holiness through catechesis and evangelization about the truth of the Christian faith. We also aim to convert non-Catholics to the faith founded personally by Jesus Christ, and strengthen the faith of existing Catholics. Our hope is to achieve this by bringing Jesus Christ to the internet through the use of digital media.
What I appreciate about Church Militant is that it is a Catholic organisation looking at the problems within the Catholic Church and they're not afraid to be self-critical.
If you're interested in the findings of the study you're welcome to watch this video.

What I want to add to my previous post is that Fr Sullins addresses the issue of married clergy. If the abuse problem is homosexual, as his study establishes, then allowing marriage will not solve the problem. Gay priests wouldn't get married anyway, which negates the argument that allowing marriage will decrease abuse.
You might also find this video interesting.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m already a Church Militant fan, but I haven’t seen these particular videos. Patrick Coffin on youtube is another guy who talks about this.
I think the litmus test for a good Catholic commentator is whether they talk about the influence of the Lavender Mafia. If they don’t, they’re missing one of the biggest issues in Church today, and it’s impossible to understand the abuse scandal without understanding how homosexuality works within the priesthood.
Thankfully, the percentage of gay priests has been dropping, as have incidents of abuse, which are no where near where they were in the 60s, 70s and 80s. But the media will probably keep putting forward their deceptive narrative on the scandal, for as long as people will buy it and not look deeper into who was really doing the abuse.
