These unverified complaints concern 378 priests, 234 religious, 92 lay people, and 23 unidentified (sic). The nature of the alleged abuses remains a mystery.
Javier García Herrería points out in InfoCatholica.com (June 8) that in these 83 years there have been 205,000 priests in Spain, of whom 378 have been accused of abuse, or 0.18%. Realistically, this number should be halved because of accusations that are either false or exaggerated.
