“In the United States the 2004 John Jay Report commissioned and funded by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) was based upon volunteer surveys completed by the Roman Catholic dioceses in the United States. The 2004 John Jay Report was based on a study of 10,667 allegations against 4,392 priests accused of engaging in sexual abuse of a minor between 1950 and 2002.”
“The 4,392 priests who were accused amount to approximately 4% of the 109,694 priests in active ministry during that time.”

Sad that the percentage in the states is higher than worldwide stats. What does that say about our society?
