Having commented myself frequently about abusive priests I’ve always been careful only to refer to confessed/convicted abusers.

The actual percentage is unknown and estimates run from a few percent to less than two percent. But no has exaggerated the figure as the ten percent accusation has.
If they have please point it out.

“No doubt we will soon see such an apology issued by people in this forum who exaggerate the number of Catholic clergy who are pedophiles.”

Not likely nor will we see an apology from those who claimed that it was bigotry on the part of the posters of articles about sexual misconduct of the clergy.
