It's not my opinion that the best solution for priests who have a mental dis-ease that tempts them to sexually abuse children should be to have them kicked out of the priesthood and thrown into prison.
If I were running things, I would give them a position where they could be priests but away from children--like in a monastery somewhere (incarcerated instead of being allowed to come and go as they please unsupervised) with their duties being things like gardening, praying, adult education, etc.
While it might be nice to be able to give them the II Corinthians 5:17 clean bill of health, we can't risk innocent lives to do so.
