What about between one in 10 and one in 15 which is the case for Catholic priest paedophiles?It's more like 0.4%, in actual fact a look around some information on the internet suggests that the rate is no higher than in any other group of people.

Look, it is absolutely fine to be outraged by the hypocrisy, but spreading misinformation does no one any good.
I will stick to Australia where we have the most recent results of a Royal Commission.

More than 20 per cent of the members of some Catholic religious orders — including Marist Brothers and Christian Brothers — were allegedly involved in child sexual abuse, a royal commission hearing in Sydney has been told.
Nearly 2,000 Catholic Church figures, including priests, religious brothers and sisters, and employees, were identified as alleged perpetrators in a report released by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.
The hearing is examining the current policies and procedures of the church's authorities in Australia relating to child protection and child safety standards, as well as their response to allegations of abuse.
In her opening address, Gail Furness SC said a survey revealed 4,444 allegations of incidents of abuse between January 1980 and February 2015 were made to Catholic Church authorities.
Ms Furness said 60 per cent of all abuse survivors attending private royal commission sessions reported sexual abuse at faith-based institutions.

Of those, almost two-thirds reported abuse in Catholic institutions.
The royal commission's report found of the 1,880 alleged perpetrators from within the Catholic Church, 572 were priests.
Ms Furness described the victims' accounts as "depressingly similar".
Who are the Brothers of St John of God?
Forty per cent of the members of the Brothers of St John of God had allegations of abuse made against them from 1950-2010.
"Children were ignored or worse, punished," she said.
"Allegations were not investigated. Priests and religious [figures] were moved. The parishes or communities to which they were moved knew nothing of their past.
"Documents were not kept, or they were destroyed. Secrecy prevailed as did cover-ups."
The average age of the victims at the time they were allegedly abused was 10 for girls and 11 for boys.
Religious orders were in the firing line with the data suggesting that between 1950 and 2010, more than 20 per cent of Marist Brothers, Salesians of the Don Bosco and Christian Brothers had allegations of child sexual abuse against them.
For the Brothers of St John of God, that number was 40.4 per cent.

So current FACTS.
1880 our of the total number of priests and consecrated life in Australia. There are seven archdioceses and 32 dioceses, with an estimated 3,000 priests and 9,000 men and women in institutes of consecrated life and societies of apostolic life[/quote]
You do the maths. Misinformation?
