the key words here are 'accused', not proven.
plus, when it comes to general abuse i imagine some people are quick to claim abuse for next to nothing, especially on that 40% claim. my best guess is this on that 40% figure thing... they probably have more strict discipline and the like and people just don't like it and then claim they where abused. i am not saying all cases are like that as there probably are some legitimate cases and all though but you get the idea.
it's quite likely some of those claims are BS as people probably just want to get some free $$$ etc. i am confident of this. but with that said, i am not denying that abuse happens in the church as it obviously does but it's not a common thing.
Clearly not true given what you have shown me here as even if that 7% figure is legit that's no where near common as it's a tiny fraction of the church as a whole.
i am not saying it's next to non-existent, and it is a concern(since obviously it needs to be stopped), but to act like it's common is a stretch.
"Between 1950 and 2015, 7% of Australian priests were accused of abusing children, according to the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Over 40% of brothers in some orders have been accused of abuse."

It is a common thing for catholic priests to abuse children m-slovak79.
