Sexual abuse in the Catholic church. How widespread is it?

[Rev. Rye]

Didn't they in movie "Spotlight" try to make a list of cities where Catholic priests rape children and it turns out everywhere

And elsewhere in this thread, I linked to another scene where they called Richard Sipe, a former priest who did a 25-year ethnographic study of the sexual lives of priests. Half were celibate, the other half weren’t (though most settled for the usual heterosexual lifestyle) and a total of 6% of all priests were pedophiles.





Also, it seems that Sipe died of multiple organ failure a couple days ago. He was 85.

Ave Atque vale, Richard. Maybe your work here was done.
