BishopAccountability.org Data on the Crisis The Human
Toll
Thousands of Catholic clergy and religious have raped and sodomized
tens of thousands of children—perhaps more than 100,000 children—since
1950. These crimes were committed in secret, and bishops nurtured that
secrecy. Nearly 15,000 survivors have broken through the silence, and
their accounts have created an in-depth picture of the crisis....
The U.S. bishops have reported receiving allegations of abuse by 6,115
priests in 1950-2011, or 5.6% of the 109,694 U.S. priests active since
1950....
Richard Sipe estimates that 9% of U.S. priests have offended, which
extrapolates to 9,872 priests nationally....
Approximately two-thirds of sitting U.S. bishops were alleged in 2002
to have kept accused priests in ministry or moved accused priests to
new assignments....
Fewer than 2 percent of sexual abuse allegations against the Catholic
church appear to be false.
