Someone (probably not you) appears to be playing fast and loose with statistics, as some of the incidents counted involved adults, not children. And some of the incidents were physical, not sexual violence.

The John Jay Study, commissioned by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, in 2002, found that, between 1950 and 2000, 4,000 priests had over 11,000 credible accusations made against them. That's about 4% of the total number of priests in the US during that time.
