Here’s what I found...

The John Jay Report suggested that “homosexual men entered the seminaries in noticeable numbers from the late 1970s through the 1980s”, and available figures for homosexual priests in the United States range from 15–58%.

One report suggested that since the mid-1980s Roman Catholic priests in the United States were dying from AIDS-related illnesses at a rate four times higher than that of the general population, with most of the cases contracted through same-sex relations, and the cause often concealed on their death certificates. A follow-up study the next year by the Kansas City Star found the AIDS-related death rate among priests was “more than six times” the rate among the general population in the 14 states studied.

You seemed to overlook this statistic.

“Over 70 percent (of the credible offenders) entered the seminary before
1970.”

In other words men that came out of the closet in the liberal sexual revolution of the 60s. Queers entering the seminary, that’s the problem, get rid of the queers and you get rid of the majority of tbe sex abuse cases.
What is there about 81% you don’t understand. 81% of the offenders over a 52 year period were homosexuals. What is there about 4% you don’t understand? 4% of all the priests in the survey had credible accusation against them. If you have problems with these numbers contact the people who compiled the report.

That's pretty telling....

When the range is that wide, the numbers are worthless. There is not enough statistical data to draw any conclusions on that point.

The RCC was recruiting homosexuals into the seminaries back then to become priests. Their thought? That they could save gays by making having them enter into a celibate lifestyle. Yeah. It was that stupid.
