This reminds me of the time Irish bishops stopped sending trainees to Ireland's priest training seminary because of how active it was on Grindr [1].

A childhood friend who had attended a Mississippi boarding school transferred back to our school system in the second half of our junior years after having picked up a dope habit over there. He freaked out the first time he saw this particular teacher because the man had a habit of spending the weekend with the priests at the boarding school.
Also, the prohibition on homosexual relationships drives gays and lesbians has been the Catholic church's not so secret tool to maintaining an adequate number of Mass performers. I know 7 gay men from high school classes before and after my own. One is Baptist. One is an atheist. The rest are either in or are former members of the Catholic clergy. Why? Because the area I grew up in was exceedingly Catholic and conservative, and the priesthood has been seen by people as a good way to repress those urges, regardless of the ultimate outcome.
The evangelical culture wars are simply coming to Catholicism, because there is a large segment of the US Catholic population who have chosen to mix religion and political identification, and the results in the US will be absolutely catastrophic. Not only are young gay Catholics no longer willing to live their entire lives in the closet, but the church refuses to give up its weird fixation on the chastity of priests. People are following their own common sense, and it's causing parishes to collapse from a lack of human and material resources.
On one hand, you've got bomb throwers who see apostasy and want to root it out wherever they see it, and on the other hand you've got a clergy who preaches one thing and does another out of necessity.
