You're missing the point, yet again.
Whether Catholic priests abuse children at a higher or lower rate than the general population or any other group is irrelevant, as are the other points brought up by that apologetic site you quoted.
What's at issue is that Catholic church leadership had for at least decades shielded abusive clergy from civil prosecution (by "handling" the problem internally), and instead of removing their access to children, such clergy were often shuffled between parishes - and they did this all the while claiming to represent a higher moral authority.
*That's* the crime in all of this.
