WASHINGTON — About 700 people launched new claims of sexual abuse against Catholic clergy in the United States last year, including 21 who are still minors, according to a new report released by US bishops.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said in the report released Tuesday that of the 683 adults who reported allegations for the first time, “most allegations reported today are of incidents from previous decades.”
Sixty-eight percent of the complaints relate to events that took place between 1960 and 1984 — the majority from 1975 to 1979, the report says.

I went to a seminary when I was a young boy. My brother was attending there. My parents were so proud of him and basically forced him into the school. After a short time at the family day event one of the boys in the school offered to show me around. I was taken to the bunk area where they all slept in a big room similar to boot camp. The boy showed me a magazine and offered to have sex with me. I was about 10 years old.
Long story short, my brother was at the school for about a year before he was kicked out. When he came home he tried to have sex with me. This was what he learned at the seminary. It was common practice for the priests and students to have sex. That was back in the late 70's.
It is no surprise to me when I hear about a priest abusing a child. Those that go unreported far outnumber those that are reported.
