A more likely explanation is simply increased scrutiny of the church has either lead to molesters stopping molesting or they have become better at covering their tracks or the church is simply lying again and scapegoating gays.
I think you can use logic here. The proportion of gay priests is declining; the rate of new cases of boy molestation has declined during the same time period. If you say it's a mere coincidence, do you have evidence it is?
I don’t think you understand how logic works. Assuming your correlation is true, you still haven’t proven whatever you believe is the cause. What do you believe the cause is and then provide us with your evidence. That’s called “burden of proof.” Not that I think for one second that you’re here with any intention of serious discussion. I don’t. But I’m bored.
