Fewer than 10% have been defrocked.

The rest are all living well either in monasteries or in resort areas, or in the old family home right in the diocese.

The vast majority of victims were male teenagers and young adults. Sexually mature males. No, I cannot imagine at 14 years old or older ever cooperating in a homosexual relationhip with an older man. It is beyond comprehension that any normal boy that age would keep going back for more with an adult priest, seminarian, or religious brother. That seems very bizarre. There were very few actual "pedophiles" among the predatory homosexual clergy.
