The Cafeteria Is Closed: Priestly Sex Abuse: The Facts

I've been saying for a long time that the Church hasn't been doing nothing in regards to the sexual abuse crisis. On his "Cafeteria is Closed" blog, Gerald Augustinus provides some The Cafeteria Is Closed: Priestly Sex Abuse: The Facts">excellent statistics from the 2006 USCCB report and the 2006 John Jay report showing that the crisis peaked in the 70's and early 80's and has been declining steadily ever since. There are some other interesting statistics as well.

It's a good read and good information to have if you're as sick as I am of people bashing the Church over something that happened thirty years ago.
