Interesting - A few quick points - 95 priests since the early 50's.
Some of these guys were dead when the church first heard. Many were let go/had power removed... They were very few where the church did little or nothing. In many cases the church did not know for decades.

Some number crunching should be done with this. I'd like to see how the data shakes out.
One guy was found with pron and had it removed - that was his "abuse."

Most were much worse and although NONE OF THIS IS OK with me and I'd like to believe that the first call should have been to the authorities upon hearing about this type of thing in ANY organization - even moreso from a religious one, but I still wonder how much abuse still gets covered up.
