You know I agree with you, that is what I said in the first line of my response. 
What I mean, to be clear, is that while one does not directly cause the other in broad terms supression of sexual desire can lead to deviant activities, this is a fact beyond dispute and I also made it clear that a pre-existing attraction toward children had to be present and simply that the celibacy makes the situation worse.
It's like a caging an animal and expecting it to calm down, it fights back even stronger.

Some studies I've found say that the public is worse than the religious:

I think private homes in general. Abuse is most likely to occur between family members or close friends eg uncles , grandparents etc.

I disagree that celibacy makes it worse. This is probably a cousin of the false belief that "sleeping with many women stops you being a homosexual".
The rate of abuse by non-celibate offenders would far outweigh the abuse by celibate offenders. Catholic school teachers do not need to be celibate. Teachers in public schools are often not celebate. A lot of offenders are even married. In fact I could make an argument that being married encourages child abuse if the wife is not meeting their sexual needs. But this would be false too.
