Fortunately, those who are gone are far more than those who are not gone. The sexual abuse cases were, with exceptions, from the 1950s through the 1980s, even though they were only REPORTED in the last 15 -20 years. (By the 1990s, the rate of sexual abuse had declined more than 95%. The cases may have predated the 1950s considerably, and it may only be because the perps from the 1940s were gone by the 1990s that we don’t know of them: the largest number of those killed by the Spanish Inquisition were not heretics as we think of the word today, but were priests who like boys.)

I'd be most grateful if you could provide a source or suggested reading on that.
