美国有多少天主教的神父？

这篇文章里说是从60年代6万左右降到现在大约4万以下

但是这只是神父，被指控性侵的还包括其他神职人员，根据维基百科
As of 2016,[20] there were approximately 100,000 clergy and ministers employed by the Church in the United States, including:
- 37,192 presbyters (priests)
- 19,053 deacons
- 39,651 lay ecclesial ministers[21]
这个数据和上面那篇文章基本吻合，不到4万神父，总共10万多神职人员
有多少神父被指控性侵？注意，只是指控不是定罪。
As of May 30, 2017, information published by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) indicates that the conference has counted 6,721 clerics "not implausibly" and "credibly" accused of sexually abusing minors in the period 1950 through June 30, 2016, with several gaps in the USCCB data. Out of the 116,690 priests who have worked in those years, the 6,721 priests accused of abusing children are 5.8% of the total.

在大约66年中，总共是6721个神职人员被指控。但是后面那句话有点问题，我觉得从1950年至今不可能只有11万神职人员（他们也会死的），所以那个5.8%的计算是完全错误的。当然神父职位常常是终身的，但其他神职工作都是transitional的。
这样按照现在的10万人口规模中，66年来每年大约100个被指控。
相对全国普通人群，被定罪性侵加强奸的是24.7万， 相对于78%的男性（去掉15岁一下和85岁以上），大约是1亿1千万人，这样被定罪的的比例是10万成年男子中有225个被定罪的。
In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault

当然大家知道很多，甚至于大部分被指控的不会被定罪。
所以神职人员被指控性侵的几率是普通成年男子性侵和强奸被定罪的几率的一半左右，大家震惊主要是因为传统上对神职人员的尊敬和信赖。
