Once again xmedia...you display how stupid you truly are in regards to math.
161 of 177 diocese reporting....so? This statistic alone means absolutely nothing....let me explain
50 out of 50 states reported rape of the elderly...everyone must be raping the elderly? see the point?
??
4,200 claims against 1,200 priests....We know that many of the priests who have been found guilty of sex crimes have committed numerous acts....yet that averages out to less than 4 acts per accused...therefore many of these claims must be singular.
These are also claims..or accusations. This is not the number of convictions or settlements out of court....this is the number of suspected accusations. This is not an indication of the actual abuse
1,200 priest accused over 60 years.
There are roughly 47,000 priests serving in the United States...currently...if you consider that the number of priests is double(considering 60 years) you have 94,000. I wont use this number for any further math because it is speculative...but you are still referring to a rather small minority of catholic priests being
accused of sex crimes.
Do me a favor Xmedia..before you make an ass out of yourself
figure out how many priests have served in the US in the last 60 years....
take the (number of accused)/(number of priests in 60 years) and then multiply *100
this will be the percent of priests accused of sex crimes(not pedophilia)
Now list the national average percentage of sex crimes and the estimated percentage of people who are abusers......and then lets compare numbers
Your just like Fox News media.....all hype, no substance

Although most recent data demonstrate a decline in the number of sex abuse cases, many experts stress that the numbers only represent what’s been reported.
The true interpration of the "reported" data shown above......
