The ages of the victims suggest that the priests were targeting young men...not young boys.
Do you approve of raping 13-year-old boys? Do you think it's more moral than raping 10-year-old boys?
Sorry that my hair-splitter is in the shop for sharpening. You'll need to distinguish the moral differences of the two acts, and you'll need to explain why you regard that difference as meaningful.
This entire "it wasn't pedophilia, raping adolescents is called hebephilia" entirely dodges the point that priests fucking young boys is a betrayal of the morality those priests are charged with exemplifying.
You're retreating to semantics because you know you've already lost the moral battle. Don't think you're fooling anyone here ... but in case you do think that, I will make sure to disabuse you of that notion.
