What years had most of them?

Type year 1975, six items

Four items each, 1964, 1965, 1971, 1985

Half of the material is from 1970/1971 to 1995/1997. The type year and two of the years with second highest rate fall within this half, the other two before it. First quartile lasts 44 to 70, 27 years. Second quartile lasts 71 to 80, 10 years, third quartile lasts 81 to 95, 15 years, and fourth quartile lasts 1997 to 2020, 24 years. The middle 25 years made as many as the outer 51 years. It looks a bit like this is peaking about the same decades as the sexual abuse crisis in Catholic clergy - which actually started to slow down a bit before 1995. Though the big mediatised scandals came later.

Media was pushing sex. Laws and customs were already largely preventing teens from marrying. How many of the cases are really a teen girl and a priest acting out what they saw on big screens, in the hope of the situation covering it up to avoid consequences? Well, they could have read Chesterton - one of his reasons for Catholicism is, it's the one thing that really prevents a sin from being a secret (meaning a solitary secret). People in other religions could hope for more discretion, and often got it./HGL
