I have to wonder if this steady stream of sex-abuse scandals will eventually lead to the Latin Rite abandoning the requirement of priestly celibacy.

Because celibate man obviously equals child molester, right?

No, my thinking was that the scandals would add to the already difficult task the Latin Rite has of finding enough people to be priests, so that the Latin Rite would be forced to follow the example of the Eastern Catholic Churches if it wanted to have enough.
