Correct. In the US which had the highest rate, the % of priest convicted is 0.53%. In the worst places, Philly and Chicago, the number of those accused was 2-3% (lesser numbers were convicted). The majority of the abuse was in the 50s-80s and now any priest even suspected is put on suspension pronto
Let us not malign the 97.5 to 99.5% of good priests (and nearly 100% of priests joining this century) for the sins of the evil 0.53 or 2.5%.
Pray for them, they need our prayers.
Not surprised, because it takes only one bad priest doing wrong to harm the good name of all the rest.
Thanks for those statistics.
