I have to disagree with that, because it's like saying that, for instance, someone who becomes a Monk would never be able to hold to a vow of celibacy as hetero-sexuality is *their* sexual orientation.
The trick is to help the paedophile understand that, no matter what they, personally, may feel about children, those feelings are *not* reciprocated (unless the child has been groomed/ brainwashed/ coerced) and that acting upon them *will* hurt the child and cause them suffering.

Completely different scenario and you cannot use that example. A monk/priest etc take a vow of celibacy because that is a concience decision in regards to their faith and they are willing entrants into that decision. (and by the way some fail this vow)
With a paedophile they would also need to be willing, (doubtful). and keep out of the way of temptation. (monks used to go away to monasteries). Paedophiles need to be watched all the time and we do not have the social services resource to do that.
I stand by my earlier coment that paedophiles cannot be "cured" and should not be let back into society
