Sydney (AFP) - Seven percent of Catholic priests were accused of abusing children in Australia between 1950 and 2010 but the allegations were never investigated, "shocking and indefensible" data showed Monday during an inquiry into paedophilia in the church.

The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse heard that 4,444 alleged incidents of pedophilia were reported to church authorities and in some dioceses, more than 15 percent of priests were perpetrators.

I can't get the link, but this looks more like child abuse.  Serious crimes to be sure.  But nothing approaching the kind of stuff ICC deals with.  That said, a number of Catholic priests tend to be somehow maladjusted when it comes to sexual inclinations.
