A) priests with wives would be more trustworthy in terms of being around your children.
B) married priests will be less likely to get away with abusing children if they have a wife watching them
Do you really think so? I agree that the whole priests can't get married thing is bullshit. (I tend to think most religious mumbo-jumbo is bullshit) However, do you really think that molestation rates are lower among the ranks of married men? I've never seen a study on that, but I sincerely doubt it.
