In the authoritative work by Penn State professor Philip Jenkins, Pedophiles and Priests*, it was determined that between .2 and 1.7 percent of priests are pedophiles. The figure among the Protestant clergy ranges between 2 and 3 percent. The reports of sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior between Protestant clergy and adults is significantly higher.

*Philip Jenkins, Pedophiles and Priests (New York: Oxford University Press), pp. 50 and 81.
